Question

State Pascal’s law. Write its two applications.

Answer 1

Pascal's Law

Explanation:

Pascal's law in simple terms can be understood as any pressure applied to a fluid inside a closed system will transmit that pressure equally in all directions throughout the fluid. This principle of equal pressure transmission throughout a fluid is applied in many machines that we use in our daily life.

Example:

1. Hydraulic brake: Brake fluid is used to transmit pressure from the brake pedal to all the wheels of the vehicle.
2. Hydraulic jack where principle of forced amplification is used to lift the car.

Answer 2

Answer:

1. According to Pascal's law, pressure applied to any liquid is transmitted undiminished and equally in all directions throughout the liquid.

2. Hydraulic machines such as hydraulic press, hydraulic brakes, and hydraulic jacks are the applications of pascal's law.

Explanation:Pascal's law says that pressure applied to an enclosed fluid will be transmitted without a change in magnitude to every point of the fluid and the walls of the container
