Question 101 Mark
State and explain Pascal's law of transmission of pressure.
Answer
Pascal's law states that pressure applied to an enclosed liquid, is transmitted equally to every part of the liquid.
Means when pressure is applied at a point in a confined fluid, it is transmitted undiminished and equally in all directions throughout the liquid.
