multiplied by
comparing the
amount IN to the
amount OUT:
Pin=Pout
Fin = Fout

Heres some examples
Hydraulic A fluid system that
uses liquids.
Liquids are
incompressible.
This system is closed.
An example is brakes.
Pneumatic A fluid system that
uses gases.
Gases are
compressible.
This system is open.
An example is a door
closer.
