Pascal's principle : Pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to every part of the fluid, as well as to the walls of the container.

A common application of this is a hydraulic lift used to raise a car off the ground so it can be repaired at a garage. A small force applied to a small-area piston is transformed to a large force at a large-area piston. If a car sits on top of the large piston, it can be lifted by applying a relatively small force to the smaller piston, the ratio of the forces being equal to the ratio of the areas of the pistons.

Is work being done when you lift a box?

Yes, work is being done when you lift a box against the force of gravity. Work is defined as the force applied over a distance, and in this case, the force you exert to lift the box is acting over a vertical distance, thus work is being done.


Is work done if you lift a brick?

Yes, work is done when you lift a brick against gravity because you are exerting a force over a distance in the direction of the force of gravity. Work is defined as force multiplied by distance in the direction of the force, so lifting the brick requires work to be done.
