11. _________________________________________ equals force divided by area.

12. _________________________________________ equals force divided by pressure.

13. Liquids are regarded as being (COMPRESSIBLE / INCOMPRESIBBLE) so the volume of a

given quantity of a liquid will remain constant even though it is subjected to high pressure.

14. The ____________________________ of the cylinder through which the piston moves is
equal to the ________________________ of the piston head multiplied by the
__________________________ of the cylinder.

15. A given output volume from a hydraulic pump will provide an (EQUAL / NOT EQUAL)
