What is Benefits Of Hydraulic Jack?

a hydraulic jack is a mechanical arrangement that uses the power of fluids(hydraulic - study of mechanical property of fluids) to lift really heavy objects It consists of two enclosed containers connected to each other with a certain volume of liquid between them.Each of this containers has a piston , the first container has a smaller diameter while the second is large and has a greater diameter when force is applied to the piston of the first container the liquid moves form the first container to the second container and exerts a force on the piston causing the piston to be displaced since the second container is bigger a big displacement in the first container causes a small displacement in the second container but since the work w = f.d remains constant the force increases hence the displacement in the second container is used to lift heavy loads
