    Quizzical Pursuit
    —The Architecture Puzzler

    Created by Dave Guadagni

    Solution to Last Week's Puzzler
    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.
