Question
In a closed hydraulic system, a force applied by a smaller piston through a fluid will translate to a(n) ______ force applied by the fluid on a larger piston. Group of answer choicessmallerequivalentlarger
Solution
The answer is "larger". This is based on Pascal's principle which states that when a change in pressure is applied to an enclosed fluid, it is transmitted undiminished to all portions of the fluid and to the walls of its container. So, in a closed hydraulic system, a force applied by a smaller piston will translate to a larger force applied by the fluid on a larger piston.
