hey would all be in equilibrium. Had101 pounds been applied at <t, the pressure per square inch would be = 5.05 pounds, which would be transmitted in all directions; and, since the pressure due to c is only 5pounds per square inch, it is now evident that the piston awill move downwards, and the… … HYDROMECHANICS. 363 all directions^ and acts with the same force upon all surfaces in a direction at right angles to those surfaces. This law was first discovered by Pascal, and is the most important in Hydromechanics. Its meaning should be thoroughly understood. Example.—If the area of the piston…
