  15. 26. Liquid specific fluid power
  16. 28. Volume of a gas at constant temperature varies inversely with the pressure exerted on it
  17. 30. A sliding piece moved by or moving against fluid pressure which usually consists of a short cylindrical body fitting within a cylindrical chamber or vessel along which it moves back and forth
