What are te applications of pascal's law?

Answer 1

Applications

Pascal's principle underlies the Hydraulic press.

Artesian wells, water towers, dams

'Pascal's barrel experiment': a long and narrow vertical pipe is connected to the content of a large barrel. If you put water into the pipe, even in small quantity, the height of the fluid within the pipe will sharply increase, and can induce the break of the barrel.

The pressure under water increases with depth, a fact well known to Scuba divers. At a depth of 10 m under water, pressure is twice the atmospheric pressure at sea level, and increases by 100 kPa for every extra 10 m of depth.

On the other hand, atmospheric pressure diminishes with height, a fact first verified on the Puy-de-Dôme and the Saint-Jacques Tower in Paris, on the instigation of Blaise Pascal himself. As the atmosphere gets lighter with height, the atmospheric pressure varies exponentially with height. This is expressed functionally through the barometric formula.
