In the physical sciences, the perpendicular force per unit area, or the stress at a point within a confined fluid.

c)

The force that a liquid or gas produces when it presses against an area

d)

The use of persuasion or intimidation to make someone do something

2.

4.

Which of the following is not true about Pascal's Laws?

a)

Pascal's Laws are the physic laws that are named in honor of Blaise Pascal

c)

Pascal's Law #2 says in a fluid confined by solid boundaries, pressure acts perpendicular to the boundary
