multiplying force by parallel distance traveled). For those familiar with electricity, what you see here in either the lever system or the hydraulic lift is analogous to a transformer : we can step AC voltage up, but only by reducing AC current. Being a passive device, a transformer cannot boost power. Therefore, power out can never be greater than power in, and given a perfectly efficient transformer, power out will always be precisely equal to power in: Power = (Voltage in)(Current in) =…
