The two thigh bones (femurs), each of cross-sectional area \(10\) cm2 support the upper part of a human body of mass \(40\) kg. The average pressure sustained by the femurs is:
1. \(0.2\times 10^{5}\) Nm–2
2. \(2\times10^{5}\) Nm2
3. \(20\times10^{5}\) Nm2
4. \(20\times10^{6}\) Nm2

In a car lift, the compressed air exerts a force \(F_1\) on a small piston having a radius of \(5.0\) cm. This pressure is transmitted to the second piston of a radius of \(15\) cm. If the mass of the car to be lifted is \(1350\) kg, the pressure necessary to accomplish this task and the force \(F_1,\) respectively, are? (\(g = 9.8\) ms–2)
1. \(1.9\times 10^{6}~\text{Pa}~\text{and}~1400~\text{N}\)
2. \(1.9\times 10^{4}~\text{Pa}~\text{and}~1580~\text{N}\)
3. \(19\times 10^{5}~\text{Pa}~\text{and}~1570~\text{N}\)
