1.	Two tubes of different area of cross section filled with a liquid are connected. The area ofcross section of small pipe is 1 m2and that of the large one is 2m2. Calculate the pressureexperienced on the large piston if a force of 10 N is applied on the small piston.
Answer» GIVEN:- $\text{cross-sectional area of smaller pipe, }a_{1}=1m^{2}\\\\\text{cross-sectional area of <klux>LARGER</klux> pipe, }a_{2}=2m^{2}\\\\\text{Force applied on smaller piston, }F_{1}=10N$ To Find:- Pressure experienced on the larger piston. Explanation:- $\text{Pressure on the <klux>FLUID</klux> due to force on the smaller piston, }P=\dfrac{F_{1}}{a_{1}}=\dfrac{10}{1}=10N/m^{2}$ ACCORDING to Pascal's law, pressure at every point in a STATIC fluid is same. Therefore, pressure experienced on the larger piston=pressure on the smaller piston= $10N/m^{2}$
