Rainbow mindmap - Pascal's Law

Pascal’s Law – Mind Map

1. Definition

• Pascal’s Law states that pressure applied to a confined fluid is transmitted equally in all directions.

2. Formula

• Pressure (P) = Force (F) / Area (A)
• SI Units:
  • Pressure → pascal (Pa)
  • Force → newton (N)
  • Area → m²

3. Key Concepts

• Pressure is transmitted uniformly in all directions in a closed fluid system.
• Works for incompressible fluids only.
• Applies only in a closed container.

4. Applications

• Hydraulic lift
• Hydraulic brakes
• Hydraulic press
• Dentist chair
• Earth movers (JCB)

5. Real-Life Examples

• Car braking system
• Hydraulic chair at barber shops
• Garage hydraulic jack
• Aircraft controls

6. Skills Students Learn

• Understanding fluid mechanics
• Application of physics in daily life
• Logical thinking and problem-solving
• Diagram drawing and interpretation

7. Values Developed

• Curiosity and love for science
• Appreciation of real-world technology
• Responsible use of machines
• Respect for engineering and innovation
