Fluid Pressure
The term fluid pressure is coined as, the measurement of the force per unit area of a given surface of a closed container. It is a branch of physics that helps to study the properties of fluid under various conditions of force.
Gauge Pressure
Pressure is the physical force acting per unit area on a body; the applied force is perpendicular to the surface of the object per unit area. The air around us at sea level exerts a pressure (atmospheric pressure) of about 14.7 psi but this doesn’t seem to bother anyone as the bodily fluids are constantly pushing outwards with the same force but if one swims down into the ocean a few feet below the surface one can notice the difference, there is increased pressure on the eardrum, this is due to an increase in hydrostatic pressure.

### Diagram Explanation
**Figure**:
- The diagram shows a hydraulic lift system. A small force \( F_1 \) is applied to a small piston on the left side. Due to the pressure equilibrium in the fluid, this force allows a larger piston on the right side to lift a car. The pressure \( p \) is the same at all points at a given height in the fluid. Thus, a small force \( F_1 \) can lift a large weight \( F_2 \), which in this case is a car.
**Problem Statement**:
- For the hydraulic lift shown in the figure, we need to find the ratio of the diameter of the vessel at the car to the diameter of the vessel where the force \( F_1 \) is applied. The objective is to lift a 1500 kg car with a force \( F_1 \) of just 125 N.
### Calculation Requirement
- The problem provides a space for calculating the diameter ratio:
\[
\frac{D_{\text{car}}}{D_{F_1}} =
\]
