Pascal's principle in hydraulics leads to force amplification which is a common feature in hydraulic brakes and hydraulic press. A small force applied on a piston of small cross sectional area produces a larger force on another piston of larger cross sectional area when they are connected by an incompressible fluid. How does one explain the validity of Newton's Third Law in this example?
