  2. Pascal's Law
  3. Bernoulli's Principle
  4. Boyle's Law

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: Pascal's Law

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: B) Pascal's Law šŸ“š Explanation: Pascal's Law states that pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to every portion of the fluid and the walls of the container. Hydraulic systems like car brakes and industrial presses use this principle to multiply force. This allows a small force applied on a small piston to generate a massive force on a larger piston.
