Hydraulic Systems

Pascal's Principle: Any pressure applied to a confined fluid will be transmitted undiminished to all parts of the fluid.
F1/A1=F2/A2

We, like two cylinders, are joined hand in hand,
Confined by the people who do not understand.
They force their way downward and hope we let go,
But the force they exert holds secrets they do not know.

For whenever they push one, the other gets longer.
As the manner they push, so shall we hold stronger.
We, like two cylinders, transmitting our love:
Force undiminished, that which comes from above.
