A hydraulic lift has area ratio of output to input piston 10:1. Force applied 50 N on input piston lifts weight of
A. 500 N
B. 5 N
C. 50 N
D. 5000 N

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
F1/A1 = F2/A2 => F2 = (A2/A1) F1 = 10×50 = 500 N.

The escape velocity from a planet depends on:
A. Radius of the planet only
B. Both mass and radius of the planet
C. Temperature of the planet
D. Mass of the escaping body

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Escape velocity v_e = √(2GM/R), where M is planet mass, R its radius. Thus v_e depends on both M and R. It is independent of the escaping body's mass (as gravitational and inertial mass cancel). Memory tip: 'v_e ∝ √(M/R); larger M or smaller R ⇒ higher escape velocity'. This gravitation formula application is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always recall that escape velocity is a property of the planet, not the projectile. This problem assesses understanding of gravitational potential energy concepts.
