concepts of Pascals principle.

Title of Report: a hydraulic lift and make a model or device that involves the processes and concepts of
Pascals principle.

Your name: Ricardo de Jesús Madera López (Team’s
name)_Jamie, Melina, Adrian, Carlo

Hypothesis:

The principle for hydraulic lifts is based on Pascal's law for generating force or motion, which states that
pressure change on an incompressible liquid in a confined space is passed equally throughout the liquid in
all directions. Hydraulic lifts provide controlled and precision force.
Steps:
This section gives all the descriptions you recorded about what you saw ( Experimental Results in
“Essential Experiments”).
1. You cut a large piece of wood or a cardboard to do the base.
2. Then you make 2 large pieces of wood to make the stands of the platform.
3. Then you cut a medium piece of cardboard of wood to to the platform in which the object
will go
4. You put the syringe with water to pull up or down the platform
Results and Analysis: Add any photos or videos of your
finished project in the results.
The force generated in a hydraulic system depends on the
size of the pistons. If the smaller of the two pistons is
two inches and the larger piston is six inches, or
three times as large, the amount of force created
will be nine times greater than the amount of force
from the smaller piston. One hundred pounds of
force by a small piston will be able to lift 900
pounds.

Conclusion
(In this section, you make one or two concluding statements about the lab experiment) A hydraulic
lift is a device for moving objects using force created by pressure on a liquid inside a cylinder that moves a
piston upward. Incompressible oil is pumped into the cylinder, which forces the piston upward. When a
valve opens to release the oil, the piston lowers by gravitational force.
