ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I would like to express my special thanks of

gratitude to my teacher Dr. Mukesh Sharma
As well as are principal MRS. Surekha
maheswari who gave me the golden
oppurtunity to do this wonderful project on the
topic pascal law and its application , also
helped me in doing a lot of research and I came
to know about so many new things and I am
really thankful to them.
Pascals Law
Of
Pressure At A Point
STATE:-
The Intensity Of Pressure At Any Point In A Liquid At Rest, Is The Same In All Directions.

PROOF:-
Consider An Arbitrary Fluid Element Of Wedge Shape ABC In A Fluid Mass At Rest As
Shown In Fig. (A). The Width Of Element Perpendicular To The Plane Of Paper Is Unity.

Let, Px = pressure acting on a face AB

Py = pressure acting on a face AC

Pz = pressure acting on a face BC

Px = force on a face AB

Py = force on a face AC

Pz = force on a face BC

Figure - A
The forces acting on the element are:-
(1) Normal force to the surface due to fluid pressure
(2)Force due to weight of fluid mass in vertical direction

Px = px area of face AB = px (dy 1)

Py = py area of face AC = py (dx 1)

Pz = pz area of face BC = pz (ds 1)

Weight of element = mass of element g

= volume g

= W = (dy dy) g
 Pascals Law
In the 1600's, the French scientist Blaise
Pascal discovered a fact now known as
Pascal's Law. It states that pressure at any
point in a body of fluid is the same in every
direction, exerting equal force on equal
areas. This works for gases and liquids
(both are fluids).

Pascals Formula
This brings us to a very important formula:
F
P
A
P = Pressure, F = Force and A = Area

This expresses that Pressure is Force per Unit Area.

This is why pressure is usually expressed in
pounds per square inch (psi).

Variations of Pascals Law
Pressure = Force
F
divided by area P
A
Force = Pressure times
area
F P A
Area = Force divided
by pressure F

P

Using Pascals Law

Pascal's Law - gives us the

mechanics to do a great deal
of work with hydraulics. The
drawing on the left shows
that we can lift a large amount
of weight with a small amount
of effort. We can lift 100
pounds by applying just 10
pounds of force to the piston
measuring 1 square inch

Where might Pascals Law be used?
A twenty ton floor
jack has a hydraulic
piston with a 7 in
diameter.
60 pounds of force is
being applied to the
piston.
Calculate the line
pressure being exerted
on the piston.

12
Using Pascals Law
A caliper piston has a
diameter = 1.5 in
The Master cylinder
has 50 pounds per
square inch (psi) line
pressure applied to it.
Determine the force
exerted on the caliper
piston.

BIBLIOGRAPHY
Respected sir first of all I want to say thank
you to you for give me such a project which
enhanced my knowledge about pascals law.
I have used many source of information
such as www.wikipedia.com and many
other books.and at last I also enjoyed while
making this project.
