The discussion revolves around the concept of pressure in a fluid at rest, particularly focusing on how pressure is transmitted in a fluid system and the implications of Pascal's law. Participants explore the relationship between the pressure at different points in a fluid, the role of atmospheric pressure, and the influence of surrounding molecules on pressure measurements.
Participants do not reach a consensus on several key points, particularly regarding the influence of surrounding molecules on pressure measurements and the interpretation of pressure transmission. Multiple competing views remain, and the discussion is characterized by ongoing questions and clarifications.
Participants express uncertainty regarding the definitions and implications of pressure in fluid systems, particularly in relation to atmospheric pressure and the role of lateral forces. There are also unresolved questions about the accuracy of visual representations used in the discussion.
Yes, that is it. That is how you arrive at Pascal's principle.Kaushik said:It must be equal so that it doesn't flow.
Then for that cubical part to not flow the pressure on top surface must be equal to that of the pressure on the side surface. Hence, pressure on both the cubical part is equal. Is it?
