Single correct option
A hydraulic lift used to raise vehicles in a service station works on the principle of
- A. Bernoulli's theorem
- B. Archimedes' principle
- C. Pascal's law
- D. Boyle's law
Show answer and solution
Answer: (C) Pascal's law
Pascal's law states that pressure applied to an enclosed incompressible liquid is transmitted undiminished in all directions. A small force on a small piston creates the same pressure on a large piston, giving a large force. Bernoulli relates pressure and flow speed and Boyle's law relates to gases, so they do not apply.
