Write the Pascal's law for static fluids.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to state Pascal's law, which is a principle in fluid mechanics relating to the behavior of fluids at rest.
Answer
Pressure change in an enclosed fluid is transmitted equally in all directions.
Pascal's law states that a pressure change at any point in an enclosed incompressible fluid is transmitted undiminished throughout the fluid. Thus, any applied pressure on a static fluid is transmitted equally in all directions.
Answer for screen readers
Pascal's law states that a pressure change at any point in an enclosed incompressible fluid is transmitted undiminished throughout the fluid. Thus, any applied pressure on a static fluid is transmitted equally in all directions.
More Information
Pascal's law is fundamental in hydraulics, explaining how hydraulic lifts, brakes, and other systems work by transmitting force through an incompressible fluid.
Tips
A common misconception is that this principle requires moving fluids; however, it applies to static fluids, where no movement occurs.
