Pascal's law states pressure applied to enclosed fluid is:
ALost
BTransmitted equally in all directions
CStored
DHalved
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Transmitted equally in all directions
Pascal's law: pressure transmitted equally throughout connected incompressible fluid. Basis of hydraulic systems: small force on small piston gives large force on large piston (F₁/A₁ = F₂/A₂).
