What is the transmission of force?
Under static conditions, two large chambers connected by a line will have the same pressure in both
What is a force
How is it calculated
It’s a push or pull that is exerted on an object so as to change its position or direction of movement
Multiplying the area times the pressure
What is weight
It’s a downwards gravitational force or pull on an object
What is mass?
It represents the amount of matter in an object and its inertia or resistance to movement
What is specific gravity?
It is the density or mass of a liquid
What is pressure?
It’s determined by dividing force exerted on an object or a substance by the area
What is the definition of Power
It the amount of work done in a given amount of time
