(a) Explanation Pressure is stated as the ratio of the force applied on the piston to the cross-sectional area of the piston as given below: P = F A Here, P is the pressure, F is the force and A is the area of the cross-section. The pressure under both the piston must be same because the student and elephant stand at the same height from the ground as shown below: P 1 = P 2 F 1 A 1 = F 2 A 2 m g π r 2 = M g π r e 2 …… (1) Here, m is the mass of the student, M is the mass of the elephant, g is the acceleration due to gravity, r e is the radius of the piston on which elephant is standing and r is the radius of the piston on which student is standing. Fluid in the hydraulic lift is oil. As the second student also joins the first one then the piston will shrink by 35 cm so the piston on which elephant is standing also rises by the same. Therefore, both the students and elephant is not now standing on the same height. So the difference in height of both the student and elephant from the ground is given as follows: h = 0.40 m+ ( 0.40 m ) ( 0.24 m ) 2 h = 0.42 m Then there is also a addition of hydraulic pressure exerts on the lift in equation (1) as given below: M 2 g π ( d 2 4 ) = ρ g h M 2 = ρ h π ( d 2 4 ) …… (2) Here, ρ is the density of oil, h is the height, d is the diameter of the piston on which both the student is standing, M 2 is the mass of the second student (b) To determine The mass of second student
