The relationship between force and volume of a liquid. C. The definition of pressure as pounds per square inch. D. The manner in which liquids conform to their container. - The correct answer is (A) The amplification of force in a hydraulic system. The third principle of hydraulics is the basis for Pascal's Law and states that when pressure is applied to a fluid, the pressure is transmitted evenly throughout - in other words, how force is amplified within a hydraulic system.
