Correct answer and explanation
Correct answer: Pascal’s law
Explanation: ✅ Correct Answer: D) Pascal’s law 📚 Explanation: A hydraulic press works based on Pascal's Law, which states that any pressure applied to an enclosed, incompressible fluid is transmitted equally in all directions throughout the liquid. By applying a small force on a smaller piston, a significantly larger force can be generated on a larger piston due to the area difference. This mechanical advantage allows hydraulic systems to lift or crush heavy industrial loads easily.
