Today, we're exploring forces in fluids – the incredible way that pressure is transmitted in all directions when applied to fluids. Get ready to uncover how Pascal's law comes into play, revealing the remarkable way forces travel through fluids.
Let's talk about force transmission in fluids. It's like a hidden web connecting every part of the fluid. When you press on one part of the fluid, like squeezing a water balloon, that force is transmitted equally to all directions within the fluid. It's like a chain reaction of whispers, but with forces!
This "Minds On" lesson aligns with the Ontario Grade 8 Science Curriculum expectation: C2.7 describe how forces are transferred in all directions in fluids, including using Pascal’s law to quantify the transfer of forces in fluids
