Chapter 19, Problem 19A
According to Pascal’s principle, what happens to the pressure in all parts of a confined fluid when you produce an increase in pressure in one part?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
To explain: The effect on the pressure in all parts of a confined fluid for the given changes.
Answer to Problem 19A
Pressure will increase equally at all points in confined fluid.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Pascal’ law: It state that, in a closed container pressure is same at all the points in all directions.
It is given that the pressure is increased in one part of a confined fluid. According to Pascal’s law, the pressure will increase in whole container. When the pressure is applied at one point it will spread equally all over the confined fluid and thus becomes equal in all the directions.
