Pressure applied anywhere to a body of
confined or enclosed fluid is trasmitted with
undiminished force in every direction.
This pressure acts at right angles to every portion of the surface of the container, with equal force upon equal areas. Fluids comprise both liquids and gasses,
hence Pascal's Law applies to both. |
