Hydraulic devices apply a small force over a small area to magnify the pressure delivered to the opposite end. This is vindicated by the formula Pressure = Force per unit Area.

How can you increase the force a hydraulic device produces without increasing the size of the force you apply to the small piston?
You reduce the diameter of the small piston. Or reduce the diameter and increase the travel of the small piston if you want the large piston to maintain it's previous range of travel.
How can pressure by amplified through hydraulic mechanisms?
Pressure is not amplified by a hydraulic system. You apply a force to a small area,and that creates a pressure equal to (your force)/(the small area).The key that makes hydraulic systems useful is the fact that this pressure goeseverywhere throughout the whole sealed system, and exerts the same pressureeverythere. So in another part of the system, there's a movable plate that has1,000 times the area of the little spot that you pushed on. But it has the samepressure against it that you exerted against the small area.The total force on the big area is (pressure) x (the big area) =(your force)/(the small area) x (the big area) =(your force)/(the small area) x (1,000 x the small area) = 1,000 x times your force !The hydraulic system amplifies the total force, by applying the same pressureto a larger area.
What is the role of water in hydraulic press to to multiply small force into a large force?
as the water transmitt the pressure to all direction..
How does a hydraulic device work?
a hydraulic system multiplies a force by applying the force to a small surface area.the increase in pressure is then transmitted to another part of a confined fluid, which pushes on a larger surface area
How can hydraulic fluids be contaminated?
small pieces have been from different parts of hydraulic system you can be infected hydraulic oil.

Why are hydraulic machines useful in heavy lifting and construction industries?
Hydraulic machines are useful in construction as they are force magnifiers. This means that a small input force can be made into a large input force. ^_^

How does a lever apply force with advantage?
It applies a small amount of force to produce a large amount of force.
In a hydraulic device the surface area of the small piston is 20cm and the surface area of the piston is 80cm to lift a 400 N barrel placed on the large piston you must apply a force of?
796.2 N/m^2
How does pascal's law influence the hydraulic principles for the braking system?
The force of the small level to the level of great power is transmitted and several times. What a difference between the two level that force them to enter more than a small force.
Why is force exerted on a small piston multiplied when it acts on a larger piston?
A hydraulic system multiplies force by applying the force to a small surface are. The increase in pressure is then transmitted to another part of the confined fluid, which pushes on a larger surface area
How is the force applied on a small surface area in a hydraulic system?
blah blah blah. i didnt get the answer so your not gonna either (:<
Why are hydraulic system known as force multipliers?
That's their whole purpose. You push with a small force on one side, and get a much larger force on the other side. The end-effect is similar to that of a lever.
What is the system that multiplies force by transmitting pressure from a small surface area through a confined fluid to a larger surface area?
Hydraulic.
