How to Calculate Force at Point 2 using Pascal's Law?
Force at Point 2 using Pascal's Law calculator uses Force at Point 2 = Force at Point 1*(Area at Point 2/Area at Point 1) to calculate the Force at Point 2, The Force at Point 2 using Pascal's Law formula is defined as the function of force at point 1 and area of cross section of both points. A consequence of the pressure in a fluid remaining constant in the horizontal direction is that the pressure applied to a confined fluid increases the pressure throughout by the same amount. This is called Pascal’s law, after Blaise Pascal (1623–1662). Pascal also knew that the force applied by a fluid is proportional to the surface area. He realized that two hydraulic cylinders of different areas could be connected, and the larger could be used to exert a proportionally greater force than that applied to the smaller. “Pascal’s machine” has been the source of many inventions that are a part of our daily lives such as hydraulic brakes and lifts. This is what enables us to lift a car easily by one arm. Force at Point 2 is denoted by F2 symbol.
How to calculate Force at Point 2 using Pascal's Law using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Force at Point 2 using Pascal's Law, enter Force at Point 1 (F1), Area at Point 2 (A2) & Area at Point 1 (A1) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Force at Point 2 using Pascal's Law calculation can be explained with given input values -> 10.90435 = 10.45*(24/23).
