Hydraulic Press (Pascal's Principle)

Pressure is transmitted equally. \( P_1 = P_2 \implies \frac{F_1}{A_1} = \frac{F_2}{A_2} \)

Load

Hydraulic Fluid

Input Force (F1)

A1 = 1 unit
A2 = 5 units
Force Multiplier: 5x

Output Force (F2): 0

Note: Conservation of Energy means distance is sacrificed.
\( F_1 d_1 = F_2 d_2 \implies d_2 = d_1 / 5 \)
