Question

  1. what is an example of pascal’s principle in action?

a. a ship floating
b. a hydraulic car lift
c. a baseball curving in the air
d. swimming underwater

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Pascal's Principle states that a change in pressure at any point in an enclosed fluid at rest is transmitted undiminished to all points in the fluid. A hydraulic car lift uses this principle. Pressure applied to a small - area piston is transmitted to a large - area piston, allowing it to lift heavy cars. A ship floating is due to Archimedes' principle, a baseball curving is due to aerodynamics, and swimming underwater is related to buoyancy and hydrodynamics not Pascal's principle.

Answer:

B. A hydraulic car lift
