Pascal's Law (Hydraulic Lift)
Key Concepts — Pascal's Law (Hydraulic Lift)
01
Pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted equally in all directions.
02
Hydraulic lift: small input force F₁ on small area A₁ produces large output F₂ on large area A₂.
03
Mechanical advantage = A₂/A₁; conservation of volume → input distance × A₁ = output distance × A₂.
