Because the pressure p is the same at all points at a given height in the fluid.... F₂ 1 of 1 For the hydraulic lift shown in (Eigure 1), what must be the ratio of the diameter of the vessel at the car to the diameter of the vessel where the force F₁ is applied so that a 1500 kg car can be lifted with a force F₁ of just 125 N?

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.
