Question
question 3: mechanical comprehension which of the following is the basis for pascals law? a: the amplification of force in a hydraulic system b: the relationship between force and volume of a liquid c: the definition of pressure as pounds per square inch d: the manner in which liquids conform to their container
Pascal's Law is based on the principle that pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to every portion of the fluid and the walls of the containing vessel. The amplification of force in a hydraulic system is a consequence of Pascal's Law. The relationship between force and volume of a liquid is not the basis. Defining pressure as pounds - per - square inch is just a unit definition, not the basis. The way liquids conform to their container is a general property of liquids and not the basis for Pascal's Law.
