Question 1:
Diagram 1 shows an experiment to study the transmission of pressure in liquid by hydraulic system. A weight is added on the big piston’s syringe. The suitable weights are added on the small piston’s syringe until both pistons are at the same level. The weight added represents the force acting on both pistons.
