Pascal’s Principle

In this topic. you will discover how pressure is transmitted throughout static fluids. Hydraulics are used for many purposes such as braking systems in cars and car lifts in a garage. You will learn how the relationship between pressure, force and area is used to multiply an input force and create a much larger output force. With hydraulics you can lift a car with the push of a finger! You will understand how this works using physics.
