    What is Boyle's Law?

    Describes the inverse relationship between pressure and volume at constant temperature.

    What happens to volume in Charles's Law?

    Volume increases with temperature at constant pressure.

    How does Gay-Lussac's Law relate pressure and temperature?

    Pressure increases with temperature in a rigid container.

    What does the Combined Gas Law calculate?

    It relates pressure, volume, and temperature changes of a gas.

    How is pressure calculated in a hydraulic system?

    Pressure equals force divided by area.

    What is force multiplication in hydraulics?

    A small input force can lift a larger output force due to area differences.

    What is the minimum area required for a hydraulic lift piston?

    It must support the weight of the load while maintaining system pressure.

    What happens to the output piston in a hydraulic system?

    It moves further when the input piston is pushed down, based on area ratios.

    How do hydraulic and pneumatic systems differ in compressibility?

    Liquids are incompressible, while gases are compressible under load changes.

    Why do hydraulic systems need cooling units?

    To manage heat generated from pressure increases according to Gay-Lussac's Law.
