Pascal's Law

This Law is formulated by the French scientist Blaise Pascal in 1653 A.D. This is one of the basic principles of hydrostatics. It is that branch of physics which deals with the properties of fluids at rest. This law states that “any pressure applied to an enclosed liquid is transmitted undiminished to every part of the liquid and to the walls of its container.” The pressure acts at right angle to the surface of the vessel exposed to the liquid.
