Question
Pressure applied on liquids is transmitted with undiminished forceA in downward direction only B upward direction only C sides of containing vessels D in all directions
Solution
The correct answer is D. Pressure applied on liquids is transmitted with undiminished force in all directions. This is known as Pascal's law. When pressure is applied to any part of a confined fluid, it is transmitted undiminished in all directions. This principle is used in hydraulic systems.
