In the video we can see a pneumatic system. First the video shows the system drawn realistically, then its diagram.

  • a)   What is Pascal’s Principle?
  • b)   Why piston 1 moves faster than piston 2?
  • c)   What is the function of the valves?
  • d)   How is the direction of movement in the piston controlled?
  • e)   Why the maximum pressure must be limited? How is it limited?
