Hydraulics are fundamentally a means of transmitting force and movement from one point to another via a liquid which is free of gas and is therefore incompressible.
The other considerable advantage of this system is that pressure = force divided by area. This means that if the slave cylinder at the working end has twice the surface area on top of the cylinder than that of the master cylinder, then it is moved with twice the force but only travels half the distance. This means of generating a mechanical advantage whilst transmitting the force to a point remote from where it is applied makes it extremely useful.

Why are liquids good for Hydraulics?
Liquid is needed to use hydraulics. It's what makes hydraulics work.
Where did the name hydraulics originate?
Hydro means water or fluid. Hydraulics uses fluid compression to do its' work.
How do hydraulics work in a flap of an airplane?
Hydraulics extends or retracts a hydraulic cylinder that pushes a lever on the flap, moving it.
What principle explains how hydraulics work?
The non-compressibility of liquids, and the equivalence of p = F/A (pressure equals force divided by area) explain why and how hydraulics work.

Can hydraulics require electricity?
hydraulics generally work without elecyric power based on the formulla pressurre multiplied by area is constant for more details contact at sharangdox@gmail.com
How do snowplows work?
The plow is controlled by hydraulics, and if it has a spreader, that'll normally be electronically controlled.
What is the difference between hydraulic and hydrostatic?
hydraulics uses the principle of hydrostatic pressure to work
