Practice question
Question
Why does a fluid at rest exert the same pressure at all points at the same horizontal level?
Explanation
Pascal’s law states that pressure in a fluid at rest is transmitted equally in all directions. At the same horizontal level, the depth (h) is constant, so P = Pa+ρgh is uniform, assuming no horizontal flow.
