Principal Laws
Pascal law
“The pressure in a confined fluid is transmitted
equally to the whole surface of its container”
Accordingly, the pressure at any point in a body of fluid is
the same in any direction

Principal Laws
Pascal
If a downward force is applied to piston 𝐴 , it will be
transmitted through the system to piston 𝐵.
According to Pascal’s law, the pressure at piston 𝐴 (𝑃1)
equals the pressure at piston 𝐵 (𝑃2).

Example
In the past figure, find the weight of the car in 𝑁, if the
area of piston 𝐴 is 600 𝑚𝑚2 , the area of piston 𝐵 is
10500 𝑚𝑚2, and the force applied on piston 𝐴 is 500 𝑁.

In the same figure, if the weight of the car is 10 000 𝑁, the
diameter of piston 𝐴 is 10 𝑚𝑚, and the force applied on
piston 𝐴 is 250 𝑁. Calculate the radius of piston 𝐵.
