Physics Uncovered on Instagram: "Pascal’s principle (also called Pascal’s law) states that when pressure is applied to a confined fluid, that pressure is transmitted equally in all directions throughout the fluid and to the walls of its container. In simple terms, if you push on a fluid in a closed system, the same pressure increase happens everywhere inside it. This is the principle behind hydraulic systems like car brakes, lifts, and presses. For example, when you push a small piston in a hydr

TheFunOrbit on Instagram: "The video demonstrates Pascal's principle through connected glasses via U-shaped straws, where red liquid from two filled cups flows into an empty central one, equalizing levels as hydrostatic pressure transmits uniformly at the base. This setup accurately illustrates fluid pressure equilibrium in open vessels, a direct application of Pascal's 17th-century law, rather than a siphon effect as one reply suggests, since no barrier is overcome by gravity alone.

How Everything Works on Instagram: "Pascal’s Principle — also known as the Principle of Transmission of Fluid Pressure — states that when pressure is applied to a confined fluid, it is transmitted equally and undiminished in all directions throughout the fluid and to the walls of its container. Formulated by French scientist Blaise Pascal in the 17th century, this fundamental law forms the basis of hydraulic systems used in everything from car brakes and hydraulic lifts to excavators and aircraf
