Pascal's law states that a pressure change occurring anywhere in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid such that the same change occurs everywhere. For a hydraulic system, this means that a pressure applied to the input of the system will increase the pressure everywhere in the system.
For a hydraulic system, pressure applied to the input of the system will increase the pressure in which parts of the system?
the portions of the system at an altitude below the input |
|
everywhere in the system |
|
the portions of the system at an altitude above the input |
|
all of these are correct |
