Answer

Pascal's Law states that a pressure change at any point in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted undiminished to every portion of the fluid and to the walls of the container.

This means that if you apply pressure to one part of an enclosed fluid, that pressure is equally distributed throughout the entire fluid, regardless of the shape or size of the container. This principle is fundamental to the operation of hydraulic systems.
