Pascal's Law:- Demonstration of Hydraulic Lift

Pascals Law

"Pascal's law is a principle in fluid mechanics that states that pressure exerted anywhere in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted equally in all directions"

And Hydraulic Lift is an application of the Pascal's Law
hydraulic lift is basically a force multiplier. It is used to lift heavy objects. 

As shown in the video above a hydraulic lift is consist of two piston of different surface area Let a and A. 
Let we apply a force f on smaller piston then 
pressure on small piston is = f/a
Then 
Pressure on Larger Piston = F/A
According to pascal's law 
Pressure on smaller piston must be transferred to larger piston  i.e.
Pressure on Smaller Piston = Pressure on Larger Piston
f/a  = F/A
F = A*f/a    as A > a  so F  > f  Where A/a is known as multiplier factor

As in this Video a mass of 500g is able to support a mass of 3 kg. In the demostration each block is of 500g. 
and one block is supporting six similar blocks. Have the look and share your views

  1. I doubt the US would ever challenge the Russian ban on United States and European Union food imports as a violation of the World Trade Organization (WTO) agreements because the ban will likely hurt Russia more than the US.legal case management software
