His exploration of fluid dynamics and his insights into hydrostatics led him to invent devices that would revolutionize many industries. One of his most important contributions was the hydraulic press, a device that uses a small amount of force applied to a confined...
Consider a system with two pistons: the first piston has a smaller surface area A1A_1, and the second piston has a much larger surface area A2A_2. When a small force F1F_1 is applied to the smaller piston, it generates a pressure P1P_1 in the fluid. This pressure is...
