Pascal's Principle states that the pressure applied at trigin odi no atooido instelb one point within the fluid will be exerted throughout the fluide od ad Symy toe ui and the walls of the container. This is the working principle of a hydraulic jack, it utilizes the incompressibility of fluids in order to lift a large load with the least effort. C at noom Suppose that the hydraulic jack is to lift a car that exerts a pressure of 4.68 KPa to the platform as shown in the diagram.

Fluid Pressure
The term fluid pressure is coined as, the measurement of the force per unit area of a given surface of a closed container. It is a branch of physics that helps to study the properties of fluid under various conditions of force.
Gauge Pressure
Pressure is the physical force acting per unit area on a body; the applied force is perpendicular to the surface of the object per unit area. The air around us at sea level exerts a pressure (atmospheric pressure) of about 14.7 psi but this doesn’t seem to bother anyone as the bodily fluids are constantly pushing outwards with the same force but if one swims down into the ocean a few feet below the surface one can notice the difference, there is increased pressure on the eardrum, this is due to an increase in hydrostatic pressure.
