    Pascal's principle, also known as Pascal's law, states that a pressure change in an enclosed fluid is transmitted equally in all directions without loss. It explains that in a hydraulic system, a pressure applied to one piston will produce an equal pressure increase in another piston, so if the second piston has a larger area then the force will be proportionately greater. Pascal discovered pressure at a point in a fluid at rest is the same in all directions, known as Pascal's law, and this principle is demonstrated in devices like hydraulic presses.

    Pascal’s principle, also called Pascal’s law, in fluid (gas or liquid)

    mechanics, statement that, in a fluid at rest in a closed container,


    a pressure change in one part is transmitted without loss to every portion of
    the fluid and to the walls of the container. The principle was first enunciated by
    the French scientist Blaise Pascal.
    Pressure is equal to the force divided by the area on which it acts. According
    to Pascal’s principle, in a hydraulic system a pressure exerted on
    a piston produces an equal increase in pressure on another piston in the
    system. If the second piston has an area 10 times that of the first, the force on
    the second piston is 10 times greater, though the pressure is the same as that
    on the first piston. This effect is exemplified by the hydraulic press, based on
    Pascal’s principle, which is used in such applications as hydraulic brakes.
    Pascal also discovered that the pressure at a point in a fluid at rest is the
    same in all directions; the pressure would be the same on all planes passing
    through a specific point. This fact is also known as Pascal’s principle, or
    Pascal’s law.
