rewrite the below-working principle of hydraulicpower steering system in your own word with out missing the generalconcept of the principle

In this type of power steering system as we discussed above thehydraulic force is used to multiply the steering input force inorder to smoothen the steering of the front wheels. This hydraulicforce is generated by a series of components that include ahydraulic cylinder, rotator hydraulic pump, hydraulic lines, highlycompressed hydraulic fluid, and a coupling mechanism that cancouple this hydraulic system with the rack of the steeringsystem.

• When the driver provides input by rotating the steering wheel,the hydraulic pump driven by the engine starts pumping the highlycompressed hydraulic fluid through lines.

• The hydraulic pressure produced by the pump enters thehydraulic cylinder which in turn applies pressure over thecylinder’s piston.

• The piston which is under high pressure starts moving from oneend to the other which in turn pushes the further fluid throughlines, with this movement of piston the input force applied by thedriver is multiplied several times.

• This high-pressure fluid sent by the hydraulic cylinder thenapplies the pressure to the attached pinion through the couplingmechanism which in turn applies high force to the rack gear and thesteering action in the front wheels takes place.
