How does a hydraulic jack work: Pascals law

Hydraulic principle. The figure below shows a hydraulic jack. A lever is used to pressurise a hydraulic fluid by a piston, thereby moving another piston upwards with great force. With such a hydraulic jack, loads of up to several tons can be lifted. The increase in force is in part due to the Pascal principle. Figure: Hydraulic bottle jack
