Detailed Solution

A hydraulic lift is an arrangement used to multiply the force. When a force is applied, hydraulic Pressure is transmitted in all direction. A pressure change at any point in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid such that the same change occurs everywhere. Thus, it works on the principle of Pascal's law.

Pressure is calculated as ,

$P r e s s u r e = \frac{F o r c e}{A r e a} o r, P r e s s u r e = \frac{T h r u s t}{A r e a}$
