Hydraulic Jack/Pascal's Law

According to Pascal's principle, what happens to a pressure change in an enclosed system filled with an incompressible fluid?

• It is transmitted through the fluid without any loss

• It is absorbed by the fluid

• It causes the fluid to evaporate

• It creates a vacuum in the system

How does the force applied to the first piston affect the second piston in a hydraulic jack?

• The second piston moves in the same direction as the first piston

• The second piston moves in the opposite direction of the first piston

• The second piston remains stationary

• The second piston moves randomly

What determines the pressure change in the fluid in a hydraulic jack?

• The force applied to the first piston

• The force applied to the second piston

• The size of the hydraulic jack

• The weight of the car being lifted

How does changing the base area of the pistons affect the force exerted on the second piston?

• It increases the force exerted on the second piston

• It decreases the force exerted on the second piston

• It has no effect on the force exerted on the second piston

• It causes the second piston to move in the opposite direction

What is the radius of the first piston in the example given?

• 10 centimeters

• 50 centimeters

• 100 centimeters

• 500 centimeters
