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. \(550000 ~\text{kg}\)
