What is Pascal's Law.

Question

Accepted Answer

Pascal's Law states that when pressure is applied to a fluid in a confined space, it is transmitted equally in all directions.

Pascal's Law is also known as the principle of transmission of fluid-pressure.
It is the foundation of hydraulic systems and plays a crucial role in various applications such as hydraulic lifts, brakes, and jacks.
According to Pascal's Law, a small force applied to a small area can generate a much larger force on a larger area.
For example, when a force is applied to a piston in a hydraulic system, the pressure is transmitted through the fluid to all other parts of the system, causing them to move.
Pascal's Law is applicable to both liquids and gases, as long as they are in a confined space.
