Solution

  1. The French scientist Blaise Pascal observed that the pressure in a fluid at rest is the same at all points if they are at the same height.
  2. Hence, it is called Pascal's law.
  3. Pascal's law says that pressure applied to an enclosed fluid will be transmitted without a change in magnitude to every point of the fluid and to the walls of the container.
  4. The pressure at any point in the fluid is equal in all directions.

Hence, The pressure in a fluid at rest is the same at all points if they are at the same height this law is called Pascal's law.
