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.
Therefore Pascalâs law can be interpreted as saying that any change in pressure applied at any given point of the fluid is transmitted undiminished throughout the fluid. Pascalâs principle applies to all fluids, whether gases or liquids and underpins the operation of hydraulics, e.g. the hydraulic press.
