Answer options

  1. Boyle's Law
  2. Pascal's Law
  3. Newton's Law
  4. Hooke'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 is the fundamental principle behind hydraulic systems used in car brakes, hydraulic lifts, and heavy machinery. When pressure is applied to an enclosed fluid, that pressure change is transmitted to every part of the fluid and the walls of the container without loss. This allows a small force applied to a small area to generate a much larger force elsewhere.
