Solution

Pascal's law states that any pressure applied to a fluid inside a closed system will transmit that pressure equally in all directions throughout the fluid. This law is the basic principle that causes hydraulic power in heavy construction machines to work. It is also the principle that causes power brakes on automobiles and other vehicles used in the transportation industry to work.
