Transmit power from one point to another
Pascals Law
Pressure applied on a confined fluid is transmitted
undiminished in all directions, and acts with equal
force on equal areas, and at right angles to them
3. Pascals Law
This bottle is filled with
liquid that is non-
compressible
A 10 lb force is applied to a
stopper with an area of one
square inch Results in 10 lb force on
every square inch of the
container wall
If the bottom has an area
of 20 sq. in. and each
square inch is pushed by
a 10 lb of force, the entire
bottom receives a 200 lb
push
4. PASCALS LAW
Pressure = Force / Area
Pressure = lb/in2 (psi)
Area = in2
Force = pounds (lb)
