What is Pascal's principle? Definition.
0:03
Pascal's principle states that when
0:05
pressure is applied to a confined fluid,
0:07
the pressure is transmitted equally and
0:10
unddeinished in all directions
0:12
throughout the fluid. Explanation:
0:14
Pascal's principle explains how pressure
0:17
behaves in liquids that are enclosed in
0:19
a container. When a force is applied at
0:22
one point in a confined fluid, the
0:25
resulting pressure spreads uniformly to
0:27
every part of the fluid and acts on the
0:29
walls of the container. This principle
0:32
is the reason why a small force applied
0:35
at one point can produce a much larger
0:37
force at another point, provided the
0:40
area is larger. It is a key idea behind
