What is the difference between a liquid and a gas?
Liquid molecules are close together, but not packed. Gas molecules are spread apart and freely moving. Liquids have fixed volume, while gases do not
liquid means a substance that is flowing, and keeping no shape, such as water, whereas gas means a substance in the fundamental state of matter that retains its size and shape without need of a container
Liquids are incompressible because their molecules are close to one another
Gas vibrate and move freely at high speeds
What is meant by the term “incompressible”? What makes liquids incompressible?
able to be made to use less space when it is stored in the memory of a computer or on a disk, by using a special program
Pressure applied to a confined fluid is transmitted undiminished in all directions
Something that is incompressible cannot be mashed into a smaller space. Liquids are incompressible because their molecules are close to one another, even though they are not tightly packed
Use of liquids at high pressure and low flow to perform work
Pressure in a liquid is transmitted equally throughout the liquid.
Pascal's Law
Multiplication of force
Law of Conservation of Energy
Cycle time
An initial effort force puts pressure on a liquid over a given area. This pressure is transmitted throughout the liquid, reaching a second area (in some systems, a third or a fourth, too), in which it exerts a load force.

What are the five elements of a hydraulic system?
Driver, pushbotton, motor, control valves, sensors.
Reservoir, gear pump, relief valve, directional control valve and actuator cylinder.
Driver, gear pump, motor, control valves, sensors.
Driver, pump, motor, relief valve, directional control valve
How do the pistons in an excavator act like muscles?
They extend and shorten the arm of the excavator, as well as rotating it, and raising and lowering it, allowing it to move much like a human arm.
Two pistons are connected by a pipe. One piston is larger than the other. A small amount of force applied to the smaller piston translates through the hydraulic fluid to a large force applied to the larger piston
split logs and remove the piston from the log once it has been split.
