If a given pressure is addedto a given area of the surface of aninclosed volume of a liquid, that givenpressure is transmitted to every equalarea within the containing vessel. Forexample, if a keg is full of water and 10 lbs. addi-tional pressureis appHed at theopen bunghole,which is I squareinch… … Fig. 38. Mechanics of Fluids. 49 is constructed. If the small piston P is i square inch inarea of cross-section, and the large piston P^ is lOO squareinches in cross-section, a downward force of lOO lbs. onthe small piston will cause an uplift of 10,000 lbs. on thelarge piston. By means of this…
