A wooden object floats in water kept in a beaker. The object is near a side of the beaker (figure). Let \(P_1,\) \(P_2,\) \(P_3\) be the pressures at the three points \(A, B\) and \(C\) of the bottom as shown in the figure.          
                   
Then:
1. \(P_1=P_2=P_3\) 2. \(P_1<P_2<P_3\)
3. \(P_1=P_2\neq P_3\) 4. \(P_2=P_3\neq P_1\)

A hydraulic press can lift \(100\) kg when a mass \(m\) is placed on the smaller piston. If the diameter of the larger piston is increased by a factor of \(4\) and the diameter of the smaller piston is reduced by a factor of \(4,\) while keeping the same mass \(m\) on the smaller piston, the press can lift:
1. \(2500 ~\text{kg}\)
2. \(50000 ~\text{kg}\)
3. \(25600 ~\text{kg}\)
4. \(550000 ~\text{kg}\)

In the figure shown, if the tank \((\mathrm a)\) has a circular cross-section and the tank \((\mathrm b)\) has a square cross-section, then when filled with water, we can conclude that:

              
1. The pressure at the bottom of \((\mathrm a)\) is greater than that at the bottom of \((\mathrm b).\)
2. The pressure at the bottom of \((\mathrm a)\) is smaller than that at the bottom of \((\mathrm b).\)
3. The pressure at the bottom of \((\mathrm a)\) and \((\mathrm b)\) are the same.
4. The pressure at the bottom of the tank depends on the shape of the container.
