Pascal's Principle & Hydraulic Systems – AP Physics 2

1. Pascal's principle states that pressure in an enclosed fluid:

Decreases with depth Is transmitted equally in all directions Only acts downward Depends on the fluid's density

2. If A₂ = 10·A₁ and F₁ = 50 N, what is F₂?

5 N 50 N 500 N 5000 N

3. In a hydraulic press, the output piston moves:

The same distance as the input A greater distance than the input A smaller distance than the input Distance doesn't change
