A practical application of Pascal's principle is the hydraulic press. This device utilizes the principle by applying pressure to a fluid in a confined space, which then transmits that pressure uniformly throughout the fluid. As a result, a small force applied to a smaller piston can generate a much larger force at a larger piston, allowing for the compression of materials or the lifting of heavy objects efficiently. This principle is also employed in hydraulic brakes and elevators.
