7 What is Pascal’s Principle?
A The pressure of a gas is caused by the collision of gas molecules with the wall of the
container
B The pressure is transmitted equally throughout the whole enclosed fluid when a pressure
is applied in an enclosed system
C The pressure of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature at constant
volume.
D The pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its absolute temperature at constant
volume.
8 Figure 6 shows air flowing through a horizontal tube with a constriction in the middle
causing water to rise in the three vertical tubes.
