Hydraulic systems work because _____.

liquids are incompressible

pressure is transmitted equally throughout a liquid

gases are incompressible

pressure and force are the same thing

Verified Answer :

because liquids are incompressible

Answer;

  • Liquids are incompressible
  • Pressure is transmitted equally throughout a liquid

Explanation;

-Hydraulic systems works on the idea that, unlike gasses, liquids cannot be compressed. Therefore, a system that transfers pressure through liquid to aid in the lifting of an object can be created.

-Force that is applied at one point is transmitted to another point using an incompressible fluid. This force is created on the piston which generates or creates a pressure that will be transmitted equally to all parts of the system, then to the load and this pressure creates a force that will lift the load on the load piston.
