Pascal's law is valid, only when the fluid is_____________________?

Correct answer: B. At rest

  • A. Frictionless and at rest
  • B. At rest
  • C. At rest and when the frictionless fluid is in motion
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Pascal's law is a hydrostatic principle stating that pressure applied to a confined fluid at rest is transmitted undiminished in all directions. A moving fluid introduces velocity and friction effects, so the simple law is not applied directly.
