What happens to the pressure in all parts of a confined fluid if the pressure in one part is increased? The pressure in the other parts remains the same.

The pressure everywhere increases by different amounts depending on the area of each part.

The pressure everywhere increases by the same amount.

The pressure everywhere decreases to conserve total pressure.

option C

Explanation:

the correct answer is option C

When in a confined fluid the pressure is increased in one part than the pressure will equally distribute in the whole system.

According to Pascal's law when pressure is increased in the confined system then the pressure will equally transfer in the whole system.

This law's application is used in machines like hydraulic jacks.
