The 80kg student balances a 1300kg elephant on a hydraulic lift. (U-Tube)

What is the diameter of the piston the student is standing on?
When a second student joins the first, the height difference between the liquid levels in the right and left pistons is 40cm . What is the second student's mass?

I do not know. All I know is the ratio of areas.

80 (pi r^2) = 1300 (pi R^2)
By the way to do the second one you must know the density of the fluid.
These are very strange questions. Are you sure you have copied them correctly?
Its 900kg/m^3 for the density of liquid I think.
