What is a pneumatic device?
Amount of force per unit area.
What is pressure?
This principle is concerned only with the proportionality between volume and temperature at a constant pressure.
What is Charles's Law?
The amount of deformation required to bring a material to its elastic limit.
What is resilience?
A hydraulic device functions based on this principle

What is plasma?
This force results in the stretching of an object.
What is tensile?
This does not contribute to the rise of water in a small tube.
What is gravity?
If a gas inside a rigid, solid steel container is heated to 350k then this happens.
