Which ones of the following uses Pascal's principle A automotive hydrolic jack B trains' hydrolic brakes C a dish washer machine D a Bramah Press E a clothes washer F a street cleaning machine?
Pascal s law or Pascal s principle states that "a change in the pressure of an enclosed incompressible fluid is conveyed undiminished to every part of the fluid and to the surfaces of its container."--- wikiPascal s law was developed by French mathematician Blaise Pascal. The principle states that when there is an increase in pressure at any point in a confined fluid, there is an equal increase at every other point in the container. (see engineering.com)The three that jump out as correct are A automotive hydrolic jack, B trains' hydrolic brakes andD a Bramah Press.The others use fluid (water) but I'm not sure they exactly fit Pascal's principle.
You replaced the front and rear brakes of a 1990 gmc jimmy and the brakes still seem spongy?
If you brake system seems spongy, it most likely air in your brake fluid. To remove this simply jack up your Jimmy and proceed to remove the front wheels. After this has been done, and your tires have been properly removed, it is time to change your brake fluid. Buy the proper brake fluid and have a suction-pump or a friend at hand. The brake fluid cap is located under the hood. Remove this cap. If you fluid is a clear liquid, or is just turning a slight brown, then your fluid is good. If your fluid is black and groggy then it is time for a change. Proceed to pump out the brake fluid. If you do not have a pump, (which can be made homemade), then have a friend to sit behind the wheel. There should be a valve on the side of your brake system that allows you to drain your fluid. DO NOT EVER open this valve without the brake pedal being pressed. Air pockets form in your brakes and if not done properly, your brakes could fail. Making sure your buddy has the pedal pressed firmly to the floor, open the valve until the fluid looses its pressure. Tighten the valve. Pump the brakes for pressure, then hold to the floor. Repeat until the fluid is a clear color. Make sure that your brake fluid does not run out or you will have to inject it manually, which can be a pain. Having your brake fluid flushed is about $60-$100 in a shop, when you could just as easily do it yourself. Make sure the fluid is flushed when needed. If it is not properly taken care of, your brakes collect moisture which forms rust which could result in internal damage.
My 2ton floor jack won't lift how do you put fluid in the jack?
Should be a screw at the side of the jack body Make sure piston is in collapsed position and fill with hydraulic jack oil to this level
What is a floor jack?
a jack that goes on the floor
What tools are needed to change front brake pads on a 2003 Toyota Highlander?

When was Jack Brake born?
Jack Brake was born on 1890-11-11.
What makes a floor jack stay up?
A scissor jack uses a fine threaded screw and mechanical advantage to lift a vehicle. A hydraulic jack uses hydraulic fluid, a pump, and a cylinder to lift the car.
Is hydraulic fluid for a jack different from hydraulic brake fluid in a car?
Yes, they are different. Brake fluid will eat the jack seals. Some people might suggest transmission fluid or motor oil, but there's really no need -- hydraulic jack oil is inexpensive and easily available at many tool, hardware, and auto parts stores. And it's supposed to keep seals in the best possible condition. Here are a few part numbers you can search for: GUNK 4KTN1 Hydraulic Jack Oil, 12 Oz Gold Eagle Heavy Duty Jack Oil - JF16 "Ace" Hydraulic Jack Oil (at Ace Hardware Stores). As of this writing in mid 2010, a 12 oz bottle is about $4.
