Pascal’s law states that the pressure applied to a confined fluid is transmitted equally in all directions throughout the fluid. This principle is fundamental in hydraulic systems, where forces are transferred through pistons of different areas.
In a hydraulic system, if you apply a force to one piston, the pressure is transmitted through the fluid to another piston. The force exerted by the second piston can be calculated using Pascal’s law, taking into account the areas of both pistons.
