- According to Pascal’s principle, for a certain fluid in a totally enclosed system, a change in pressure at a given point in the fluid is transferred to all points in the fluid, as well as to the enclosing walls.
- This is illustrated by the fact that the pressure inside an enclosed system is the same according to the relation [ pressure = force/area ]. Therefore, the change in pressure resulting from squeezing a ketchup bottle will be transferred equally to all parts of that bottle as well as its internal content.
- That’s how hydraulic machines, such as garbage trucks and hydraulic lifts function..
Flame emission is a method of chemical that uses intensity of light from a flame.
The pressure of the gas <u>would increase.</u>
Explanation:
Using the ideal gas formulae we can evaluate this fact;
P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂
We can assume that the volume is reduced by half (the T₁ and T₂ will cancel out because they remain constant);
P₁V₁ = P₂ * 0.5V₁
P₁V₁/0.5V₁ = P₂
P₁/0.5 = P₂
You can observe that the pressure will also increase – diving a number by a fraction or decimal number increases the resultant value. In this case, the pressure will increase by 2 fold
