Pascal's principle states that pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted uniformly throughout the fluid and to the container walls. The document uses the example of a hydraulic car lift to demonstrate Pascal's principle, where equal pressure is exerted on both sides of the hydraulic system when a force is applied to one side. The document also lists applications of Pascal's principle like car brakes, cranes, dental chairs, hydraulic jacks, and pumps.
