TOPIC : PASCALS LAW AND ITS DERIVATION….

What is Pascal’s Law?
According to Pascal’s Law,

“The external static pressure applied on a confined liquid is

distributed or transmitted evenly throughout the liquid in all
directions”.

Pascal also found that the pressure at a point for a static fluid would
be the same across all planes passing through that point in that fluid.
Pascal’s law is also known as Pascal’s principle or principle of
transmission of fluid-pressure. In 1653, Pascal law was stated by
French mathematician Blaise Pascal.
 Pascal Law Formula :

Following is the formula of Pascal law:

F = PA
Where F is the force applied, P is the pressure transmitted, and A is the
cross-sectional area.
Example of Pascal Law :
Let us understand the working principle of Pascal’s law with an
example.

A pressure of 2000 Pa is transmitted throughout a liquid column

due to a force being applied on a piston. If the piston has an area of
0.1 m2, what force is applied?

This can be calculated using Pascal’s Law formula.

F = PA

HERE,

P = 2000 PA = N/M2

A = 0.1 M2

SUBSTITUTING VALUES, WE ARRIVE AT F = 200 N

 Application OF Pascal Law :
Hydraulic Brake:
In automobiles, the hydraulic brakes also work on the same
principle. When we apply a little force on the pedal with our foot,
the master piston moves inside the master cylinder, and the
pressure caused is transmitted through the brake oil for acting on a
piston of the larger surface area. A large force then acts on the
piston and is pushed down, which expands the brake shoes against
brake lining. Consequently, a small force on the pedal produces an
extremely retarding force on the wheel. A significant advantage of
the system is that the pressure, which is set up by pressing pedal is
transmitted equally to all cylinders, which are attached to the four
wheels to make the braking effort equal on all wheels.
