What happens when
forceis applied over a
small area?
Pressure increases because the same
force acts on a smaller surface
6.
Why do sharpobjects
cut more easily than
blunt objects?
Sharp objects have smaller surface
areas, producing greater pressure.

LEARNING
OBJECTIVES
Explain how pressureis
transmitted equally in
confined fluids based on
Pascal’s Principle.
Construct and
demonstrate a simple
hydraulic system using
syringes and tubing.
Appreciate the
importance of hydraulic
systems in making work
easier and safer in
everyday life.
A fluid isa substance that can flow, such
as liquids and gases.
WHAT IS FLUID?
Examples:
⚬ Water
⚬ Oil
⚬ Air
11.
Pressure is theforce applied over an area.
PRESSURE IN FLUID
P = pressure
F = force
A = area
12.
When pressure isapplied to a confined
fluid, the pressure is transmitted equally
in all directions.
PASCAL’S PRINCIPLE
13.
Hydraulic systems usefluid pressure to
multiply force.

• Car brakes
• Dentist chair
• Excavator
Formula for Hydraulic systems
14.
Why do hydraulicbrakes make
driving safer compared to
ordinary manual braking
systems?
Hydraulic brakes distribute pressure equally through brake fluid,
allowing stronger and smoother braking with less effort, improving
vehicle control and safety.
GUIDE QUESTIONS
15.
Why are liquidspreferred over
gases in hydraulic systems?
Liquids are nearly incompressible, so they transmit pressure more
effectively than gases, which compress easily.
GUIDE QUESTIONS
Connect two syringesusing plastic tubing.
1.Fill the tubing with colored water.
2.Push the smaller syringe slowly.
3.Observe the movement of the larger syringe.
4.Repeat using different syringe sizes.
PROCEDURE
19.
What happened whenthe
smaller syringe was pushed?
The larger syringe moved because pressure was
transmitted through the fluid.
GUIDE QUESTIONS
20.
Which syringe produced
greateroutput force?
The larger syringe produced greater output force
because it had a larger area.
GUIDE QUESTIONS
21.
What does thisdemonstrate
about Pascal’s Principle?
Pressure applied to confined fluid is transmitted equally
throughout the fluid.
