Pascal's Principle
Imagine that we have a device made from a tube and pistons as shown:

Water is sandwiched between the pistons. The areas of the 2 pistons are shown in the diagram above.
Say you apply a force of 100 N on the small piston. What pressure does this piston produce on the enclosed water?
Spend a few moments and calculate this pressure and select one of the buttons below.
