The arrangement shows two pistons \(P_1,P_2\) with a rigid connecting rod \(C\) so that they can slide together with respect to the two fixed cylinders of cross-sectional areas \(A_1,A_2\) respectively. The two cylinders are connected by means of two pipes to a small cylinder (of area \(A\)) with a piston at the bottom on which is applied a force \(F.\) The interior of the pipes and cylinder is filled with an incompressible oil. Ignore any pressure variations due to gravity. The net force on the two pistons \(P_1, P_2\) is:

1. \(\dfrac{F}{A}(A_1+A_2)\) to right.
2. \(\dfrac{F}{A}(A_1+A_2)\) to left.
3. \(\dfrac{F}{A}(A_2-A_1)\) to right.
4. \(\dfrac{F}{A}(A_2-A_1)\) to left.

A large vessel of liquid of density \(\rho\) is contained in a tank. The tank is pulled towards the right with a constant acceleration \(a.\) The upper level of the liquid is not shown in the diagram. Then, the pressures at \(A\) and \(B\) are related by:

1. \(P_A=P_B\)
2. \(P_A-P_B=L\rho a\)
3. \(P_B-P_A=L\rho a\)
4. \(P_A-P_B=L\rho \sqrt{a^2+g^2}\)

Consider a tank full of water with an outlet at the bottom. As the outlet valve is opened, and water flows out, the pressure inside the tank near the outlet:
 
1. increases.
2. decreases.
3. remains unchanged.
4. increases and then quickly returns to normal.
