 Transmit power from one point to another

Pascal’s Law
 Pressure applied on a confined fluid is transmitted
undiminished in all directions, and acts with equal
force on equal areas, and at right angles to them
 Pascal’s Law
A 10 lb force is applied to a
stopper with an area of one
square inch Results in 10 lb force on
every square inch of the
container wall
This bottle is filled with
liquid that is non-
compressible

If the bottom has an area

of 20 sq. in. and each
square inch is pushed by
a 10 lb of force, the entire
bottom receives a 200 lb
push
 PASCAL’S LAW
• Pressure = Force / Area

Pressure = lb/in2 (psi)

Area = in2
Force = pounds (lb)
10 lb 100 lb

INPUT OUTPUT
Force = Pressure x Area
Purpose of Pumps – To create flow and not pressure.
Pressure is created when the flow is restricted
