Architecture Puzzler #285
Question
Would "Pascal's Law" be more likely to have an influence on your project's structural design, mechanical design, or acoustical design?
Answer
Mechanical design. Pascal's Law, if you recall, is a law of hydrostatics developed in 1646 stating that, in a perfect fluid, the pressure exerted on it anywhere is transmitted undiminished in all directions.
