What is Pascal's law?
[[File:Principe de Pascal.jpg|thumb|Effect of pressure on liquid in a full barrel]] '''Pascal's law''' is a law about the [[physics]] of a [[fluid]]. It says that if pressure is exerted on a non compressible fluid in an enclosed vessel, this pressure will be distributed evenly throughout the fluid. It is named after [[Blaise Pascal]] who discovered it in 1647. An example of '''Pascal's law''' is the way a fluid flows out of one syringe to another through a pipe or tube. {{-}} {{science-stub}} [[Category:Laws of physics]] [[Category:Fluid mechanics]]
