FLUID MECHANICS
3.1 Concept of PASCAL’s LAW
The Concept Of Pascal’s Law states that a pressure change at any point in a confined
incompressible fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid such that the same change occurs
everywhere.
3.1.1 Define Pascal’s Law
a) Pascal’s Law at a Point
Pascal's Law states that the magnitude of the pressure at a point in the fluid static
(not moving) is the same value in all directions. It should be noted here that the pressure
is a scalar form, in that it has magnitude only OR Pascal Law states that the intensity of
pressure in the fluid at a point is the same amount in all directions.
