[XKCD] Pascal's Law

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
I mean, a human being can lift a car with very little effort.
It's also why most earth moving equipment is hydraulic.
It doesn’t take less effort, it is just stretched out over an amount of time necessary for your body to keep up. And yes I know I sound like an pedantic jerk, but I work on hydraulic systems every day and know how they work 😅
The only really limiting factor is the pressure holding ability of your cylinder wall and the sealing surfaces.
Hey you wanna lift 6000T, hydraulics will do it!
