Pascal's Law and Hydraulic Brake System

KEY CONCEPT

Pascal's Law or the principle of transmission of fluid pressure:

Pascal's principle is defined as:
" A change in pressure at any point in an enclosed fluid at rest is transmitted undiminished to all points in the fluid" 

Pascal's Law and Hydraulic Brake System


Critical thinking The advantage of a hydraulic lift is that a force applied to a small piston allows you to lift an object with a weight much greater than the applied force. However, the smaller piston must be pushed down a farther distance than the larger piston is raised. Use the concepts of mechanical advantage and Pascal’s principle to explain why this is. (answer on your notebook).
