What is A?
Cross sectional area (at right angles to the direction of the force)
4 of 12
Measured in?
m^2 (metres squared)
5 of 12
What is virtually incompressible?
Liquids
6 of 12
Where is the pressure in a liquid transmitted

Where is this made use of?
Hydraulic systems
9 of 12
What does the force exerted by a hydraulic pressure system depend on?
(1) Force exerted on the system (2) Area of the cylinder on which this force acts on (3) The area of the cylinder that exerts the force
