AI overview
Pascal's law is a principle in fluid mechanics stating that when pressure is applied to a fluid in a closed container, that pressure is transmitted equally in all directions throughout the fluid. This principle is important because it forms the basis for many practical applications, such as hydraulic systems that use pressurized fluids to multiply force and move heavy objects.
