Pascal Law Formula
Pressure is defined as the ratio of the Force and cross-sectional area on which that force is applied, mathematically we can represent the same as follows:
P = F/A
Where,
- P is pressure,
- F is applied force,
- and A is the cross-sectional area.
Pascal’s Law
Pascal’s law establishes the relation between pressure and the height of static fluids. A static fluid is defined as a fluid that is not in motion. When the fluid is not flowing, it is said to be in hydrostatic equilibrium. For a fluid to be in hydrostatic equilibrium, the net force on the fluid must be zero. This law can be applied to a wide range of real-life applications and hydraulic machines are one of the widely used applications of this law. These hydraulic systems allow us to design shockers and heavy-lifting machines.
