(N/A) Pascal's law states that a change in pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to every portion of the fluid and to the walls of the container.
Two common devices that operate on this principle are:
$1$. Hydraulic lift: Used to lift heavy objects like cars in service stations.
$2$. Hydraulic brakes: Used in automobiles to stop or slow down the vehicle by applying pressure to the brake fluid.
