1 Pascal’s Principle

2 Concept 1: Pressure increases with depth of fluid

3 Pascal’s Principle Pressure applied to an enclosed liquid is transmitted equally to every part of the liquid and to the walls of the container The liquid must be incompressible

4 Pascal's Principle at work

5 Hydraulic Press

6

7 Let's see how this works

8 Similarities to a Lever A small force applied over a large distance can move a heavy object (with a large force), a small distance In a lever, a bar and fulcrum handles the force-distance exchange In a hydraulic system, the fluid does the force-distance exchange

9 Mechanical Advantage Mech. Adv =

10 Example: Two pistons are attached together. One piston has an area of 40cm 2. The second piston has an area of 100cm 2. If you place a force of 10N on the small piston, what force is produced on the large piston? Ans: F L =25N

11

12 Applications Car Braking System

13 EX: Car Braking System You apply 65N of force to the brake pedal Brake pedal lever has a mechanical advantage of 4:1 Master cylinder piston has an area of 3.87x10 -4 m 2 Wheel cylinder Area of brake piston is 9.65x10 -4 m 2 Two cylinders per wheel applies twice the force on each wheel Calculate force applied on all wheels
