Pascal's Law
- A pressure change in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted undiminished throughout the fluid.
- Pascal's principle applies to incompressible fluids.
- The change in pressure between two elevations in a fluid column with gravity is due to the weight of the fluid.
- Pascal's law was established by French mathematician Blaise Pascal.
- The pressure change in an enclosed incompressible fluid acts at right angles to the surface of the container.
