[HS.ETS.4.2] - Use a model to explain differences between open fluid systems and closed fluid systems. Determine when it is more or less appropriate to use one type of system instead of the other. Clarification Statements: Examples of open systems can include irrigation, forced hot air systems, and air compressors. Examples of closed systems can include forced hot water systems and hydraulic brakes.
[RCA-ST.9-10.7] -

[HS.ETS.4.4] -
Calculate and describe the ability of a hydraulic system to multiply distance, multiply force, and effect directional change.
Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on the ratio of piston sizes (cross-sectional area) as represented in Pascal’s law.
