Transmitting Pressure in a Fluid
Answer thefollowing questionsin the spacesprovided.
1. What is Pascal'sprinciple?
2. The diagram below shows a fluid-filled tube that multiplies the force applied
by the smaller piston. What is the device called?
3. If the right piston were removed and the fluid were no longer confined, this
device would be a force pump. What is a force pump used for?
