pascal's principle states that pressure applied to a fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid. like with toothpaste, u squeeze one side of the tube and the pressure goes through the toothpaste and makes it come out the other end

Pascal's law states that a change in pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to all portions of the fluid and to the walls of its container. This law helps to explain how hydraulic systems work, where a small force applied to a small area can generate a much larger force on a larger area.

Pascal's Law states that when there is an increase in pressure at any point in a confined fluid/liquid, there is an equal increase at every other point in the container.

Example : In a container that contains a fluid. In a certain point # 1 the pressure is 1 Pa, in point # 2 the pressure is 3 Pa and at point # 3 the pressure is 5 Pa.

Now, a pressure of 10 Pa was added, therefore the resulting pressures in points #1, # 2 # 3 are 11 Pa, 13 Pa and 15 Pa respectively.

Hope this clarifies your question.

The pressure exerted by an incompressible fluid in a confined area will be equal force in all directions.
