Question

Select all that apply.

Hydraulic systems work because _____.
liquids are incompressible
pressure is transmitted equally throughout a liquid
gases are incompressible
pressure and force are the same thing

Answer 1

because liquids are incompressible

Answer 2

Answer;

• Liquids are incompressible
• Pressure is transmitted equally throughout a liquid

Explanation;

-Hydraulic systems works on the idea that, unlike gasses, liquids cannot be compressed. Therefore, a system that transfers pressure through liquid to aid in the lifting of an object can be created.

-Force that is applied at one point is transmitted to another point using an incompressible fluid. This force is created on the piston which generates or creates a pressure that will be transmitted equally to all parts of the system, then to the load and this pressure creates a force that will lift the load on the load piston.
