Question

What is Pascal’s Law that is fundamental to hydraulic systems?

A.

Force is inversely proportional to pressure.

B.

Pressure in a confined fluid is constant at all points.

C.

Fluid velocity is directly proportional to the cross-sectional area.

D.

Energy cannot be created or destroyed in a hydraulic system.

Correct option is B

Pascal’s Law states that when pressure is applied to a confined fluid, it is transmitted equally and undiminished in all directions. This principle is fundamental to hydraulic systems such as presses, lifts, and brakes.
It means that pressure at every point in the fluid remains the same, allowing force multiplication based on area differences. For example, a small force applied on a small piston can produce a large force on a larger piston.
