Question
When pressure is applied to a liquid - Group of answer choicesthe pressure acts in the opposite direction of the force that was appliedthe pressure cannot be transmitted because liquids are incompressiblethe pressure acts equally in all directionsthe pressure acts in the direction that the force was applied
Solution
The correct answer is "the pressure acts equally in all directions". This is known as Pascal's Law, which states that when a change in pressure is applied to an enclosed fluid, it is transmitted undiminished to all portions of the fluid and to the walls of its container.
