How does Pascal's principle relate to hydraulic lifts? Hydraulic lifts use Pascal's principle to amplify force. Pascal's principle tells us that pressure is transmitted equally throughout a static fluid. A small force exerted on a small area over a large distance is translated into a large force exerted on a large area over a small distance in a device like a car lift.
Examples: flying in a plane, driving in the mountains Pascalâs Principle A change in pressure at any point in a fluid is transmitted equally and unchanged in all directions throughout the fluid hydraulics Uses Pascalâs principle and moving pistons with an enclosed pressurized fluid: Examples: Car brakes, jacks, and loaders Problem: If a force of 30 N is placed on a small piston of a hydraulic device with an area of 2 cm2, what size of a load can the larger piston lift if the area of the ...
