Hydraulic Systems Quiz

Hydraulics is concerned with the mechanical properties of _______.

What is Pascal's Law?

• A rule explaining how gases expand when heated under constant pressure.

• Pressure applied to a confined fluid is transmitted equally in all directions. This allows hydraulic systems to amplify force efficiently.

  
  

• A theory that describes the movement of objects through a vacuum at constant velocity.

• A principle that explains how magnetic fields interact with electric currents in a conductor.

Hydraulic systems use contained liquids to convert flow into mechanical force. Are liquids compressible or incompressible?

• Compressible

• Incompressible
