A hydraulic press has a small piston with an area of 0.05 m². If a force of 150 N is applied to this piston, what is the pressure exerted on the fluid? If this fluid acts on a larger piston of area 0.5 m², what will be the force exerted by the larger piston?
💡 Hint: Calculate pressure first, then apply it to find the force on the larger piston.
Discuss how a car's hydraulic braking system demonstrates Pascal's Law. Include an example of the forces and areas involved.
