Hydraulics _ GCSE Physics

Hydraulics are force multipliers that use the incompressibility of liquids to transmit pressure equally in all directions. This principle is demonstrated with a balloon example. Hydraulic systems apply a small force to one piston to generate a larger force on another, as shown in a calculation example. These systems are used in car brakes, jacks, and aircraft landing gear, making tasks like changing tires easier.
