proportional to the pressure exerted by the gas

12. b. pascal law
Pascal Law – states that in a fluid at rest in a closed container, a pressure change in
one part is transmitted w/o loss to every portion of the fluid and the walls of the
container.
Bernoulli’s Law/ Principle – an increase in the speed of fluid occurs simultaneously
w/ decrease in pressure or a decrease in the fluid’s potential energy.
Archimedes’ principle – the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body
immersed in a fluid, whether partially or fully submerged, is equal to the weight of
the fluid that the body displaces and acts in the upward direction at the center of
mass of the displaced fluid
Posieville’s Law – physical law that gives the pressure drop in an incompressible
and Newtonian fluid in laminar flow flowing through a long cylindrical pipe of a
constant cross-section.
