1
What are the properties of a liquid?
virtually incompressible
all the pressure in a liquid is transmitted equally in all directions
2
How are force multipliers achieved?
The use of different cross-sectional areas on the effort and load side of a hydraulic system enables the system to be used as a force multiplier
3
What direction does an object moving in a continuous circle accelerate?
it accelerates towards the centre of the circle
the acceleration changes in the direction of the motion of the body, not its speed
4
What causes the acceleration of the object moving in a circle?
the resultant force causing this accelerated is called the centripetal force
it is always directed towards the centre of the circle
