    Pascal's Law

    Uploaded by

    Vijay Kumar
    Pascal's principle, also known as Pascal's law, states that a change in pressure applied anywhere in an enclosed fluid is transmitted equally throughout the entire fluid and to the container walls. According to the principle, first described by Blaise Pascal, a pressure applied to one piston in a hydraulic system produces an equal increase in pressure on another piston, so that if the second piston has a larger area, the resulting force is proportionately greater. This principle is demonstrated by hydraulic presses and brakes.

    Pascal’s principle, also called Pascal’s law, in fluid (gas or liquid) mechanics, statement that, in a fluid at rest

    in a closed container, a pressure change in one part is transmitted without loss to every portion of the fluid and
    to the walls of the container. The principle was first enunciated by the French scientist Blaise Pascal.
    Pressure is equal to the force divided by the area on which it acts. According to Pascal’s principle, in
    a hydraulic system a pressure exerted on a piston produces an equal increase in pressure on another piston in
    the system. If the second piston has an area 10 times that of the first, the force on the second piston is 10
    times greater, though the pressure is the same as that on the first piston. This effect is exemplified by
    the hydraulic press, based on Pascal’s principle, which is used in such applications as hydraulic brakes.
