Keplers laws of planetary motion and his theory of gravitation. Blaise pascal 16231662 was a french mathematician, physicist, inventor, writer and catholic philosopher. Pascal s law also known an pascal s principle states that when an object is immersed in a fluid, it experiences equal pressure on all the surfaces. Cbse ncert notes class 11 physics mechanical properties of. This particular lesson will build upon your knowledge of forces and area by relating them to the definition of pressure. Pascals law fundamentals fluid mechanics engineering. For a hydraulic device, a piston has a crosssectional area of 30 square centimetres moving an incompressible liquid with a force of 60 n. Its a pretty neat and easy derivation that just uses some algebra. The law was established by french mathematician blaise pascal in 164748. According to pascal s principle, the force per unit area describes an external pressure which is transmitted through fluid and the formula is written as, example 1. A well known application of pascals law is the hydraulic lift is used to support or lift heavy objects. The law of cosines states that for any triangle abc, with sides a,b,c. Proof of the law of cosines trig identities and examples trigonometry khan academy duration. Hydraulic lift and hydraulic machines are the examples of pascal s law and these find application of pascal s law.
They are presented here purely to satisfy curiosity and for your entertainment. Change in pressure in one section of the system will be transmitted without any loss to each and every portion of the fluid and to the wall of containers. Pascal s law is not an independent physical principle but follows directly from the laws of mechanics we have already encountered. A small force f 1 is applied to piston with a small area a 1 produces a much large force f 2 on the larger piston. A planet orbits the sun in an ellipse, with the sun at one. A piston with small cross section area a 1, exerts a force f 1 on the surface of a liquid such as oil. Read the following about hydraulic force multiplication and how it relates to the pfpd you previously worked on. Pascals principle, 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. Pascal s law provides the base for any hydraulic system or we can say that complete hydraulic system is based on the principle of pascal s law. In this video i go over the law of sines in its most common and basic form and prove it using the equation for the area of a triangle but by writing. Pascal s law states that if the pressure is applied to uniform fluids that are confined,the fluids will then transmit the same pressure in all directions at the same rate.
