State Pascal's law for pressure transmission and explain its significance.
(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 containing vessel.
Significance:
$1$. It forms the fundamental principle behind hydraulic systems,such as hydraulic lifts,hydraulic brakes,and hydraulic jacks.
$2$. It allows for the multiplication of force,where a small input force applied to a small area can result in a much larger output force on a larger area,as defined by the relation $F_2 = F_1 \times (A_2 / A_1)$.

View Solution$A$ hydraulic press can lift $100\, kg$ when a mass $'m'$ is placed on the smaller piston. It can lift ......... $kg$ when the diameter of the larger piston is increased by $4$ times and that of the smaller piston is decreased by $4$ times,keeping the same mass $'m'$ on the smaller piston.

View Solution$A$ tall tank filled with water has an irregular shape as shown. The wall $CD$ makes an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal,the wall $AB$ is normal to the base $BC$. The lengths $AB$ and $CD$ are much smaller than the height $h$ of water (figure not to scale). Let $p_1, p_2$ and $p_3$ be the pressures exerted by the water on the wall $AB$,base $BC$ and the wall $CD$ respectively. Density of water is $\rho$ and $g$ is acceleration due to gravity. Then,approximately
