When pressure is applied to a fluid, the pressure change is transmitted to every part of the fluid without any loss. Which of the following laws explains this phenomenon?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Pascal's Law.
- Pascal's law is a principle in fluid mechanics given by Blaise Pascal that states that a pressure change at any point in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid such that the same change occurs everywhere.
- The law was established by French mathematician Blaise Pascal in 1647–48.
