Pascal's Law


A pressure change in a confined, incompressible fluid that happens at any point is transferred throughout the fluid, according to Pascal's law (also known as Pascal's principle or the principle of transmission of fluid-pressure), which was established by Blaise Pascal. French mathematician Blaise Pascal created the law in 1653, and it was published in 1663.


The definition of Pascal's principle is

Working Principal of Pascal's law 


Any pressure change in an enclosed fluid at rest is evenly communicated to all places throughout the fluid.

When pressure is applied to a fluid inside of an enclosed container, it is distributed evenly and without loss throughout the whole container and acts perpendicular to the walls.

Alternative definition: The liquid will transmit pressure evenly in all directions when it is applied to any section of the enclosed liquid.

Pascal's Law Application 

The pressure exerted by the left piston will be transferred throughout the liquid and up against the bottom of the right piston if a U-shaped tube is filled with water and pistons are positioned at each end (The pistons are simply "plugs" that can slide freely but snugly inside the tube.). The pressure that the right piston experiences from the water will be exactly equal to the pressure that the left piston experiences from the water{\displaystyle p_{1}=p_{2}}By using {\displaystyle p={\frac {F}{A}}} we get {\displaystyle {\frac {F_{1}}{A_{1}}}={\frac {F_{2}}{A_{2}}}\Leftrightarrow {\frac {F_{2}}{F_{1}}}={\frac {A_{2}}{A_{1}}}}. Suppose the tube on the right side is made 50 times wider {\displaystyle {\frac {A_{2}}{A_{1}}}=50}If a 1 N load is placed on the left piston ({\displaystyle F_{1}=1N}), an additional pressure due to the weight of the load is transmitted throughout the liquid and up against the right piston. This additional pressure on the right piston will cause an upward force {\displaystyle F_{2}=F_{1}{\frac {A_{2}}{A_{1}}}=50N} which is 50 times bigger than the force on the left piston. It's crucial to understand the distinction between pressure and force since the extra pressure is applied throughout the full surface of the larger piston. 50 times as much area results in 50 times as much force being applied to the larger piston. Therefore, a 50 N load, or fifty times the weight on the smaller piston, may be supported by the larger piston. 


Other Application of Pascal's law 

  1. The majority of automobile braking systems amplify force.
  2. used in dams, water towers, and artesian wells.

  5. This idea is important for scuba divers to comprehend. The pressure rises by around 100 kPa for every 10 m increase in depth from the average air pressure of about 100 kilopascal. 
  6. Pascal's principle can be applied to the lift oil mechanism because of the continuous flow process, as opposed to the limited space (static flow) where it is typically used.
