Pascal's law
In the physical sciences, Pascal's law gives the fluid pressure at mechanical equilibrium (see also fluid statics), on which only gravity forces are taken into account. More specifically, this law is actually a set principles or laws discovered in 1648 by the scientist, Blaise Pascal, summarized as: "In a body of equally dense fluid at rest, the pressure is the same for all points in the fluid so long as those points are at the same depth below the fluid's surface." (Franzini and Daugherty 1977) (See also Pascal's Contributions to the physical sciences.)
