Pascal's Principle Basic

When the piston is pushed, a force is exerted on the surface of water and ________________ is produced.

• Velocity

• Pressure

• Force

According to Pascal's Principle, pressure is applied on the surface of a liquid is transmitted ______________ through out the liquid.

• unequal

• all

• uniformly

Compare the pressure on the surface of the water in small syringe and large syringe

• Smaller

• Bigger

• Equal

Compare the force acting on the small piston with the force acting on the large piston

• Force on small piston is smaller than the large piston

• Force on smaller piston is bigger than the large piston

• Force on smaller piston is equal than the large piston

In a hydraulic system, if the area of the large piston is twice that of the small piston, how does the force compare?

• Force on large piston is double that of the small piston

• Force on large piston is equal to the small piston

• Force on large piston is half of the small piston
