Question

Name and state the principle on which a hydraulic press works. Write one use of the hydraulic press.

Answer 1

Hydraulic press works on principle of Pascal's law - a principle in fluid mechanics that states that a pressure change occurring anywhere in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid such that the same change occurs everywhere
It states that a small force applied on a smaller piston is transmitted to produce a large force on the bigger piston.
Use: It is used for squeezing oil out of linseed and cotton seeds.
