Fluid Pressure was discovered in the 1600s by Blaise Pascal, a mathematician from France. He discovered a way to explain how pressure is transmitted in a fluid.
 * A little History **

Pascal's principle was that fluids put pressure on any surface it touches and equally transported through it. For example, if the fluid was water inside of a bottle, then, when it's cap is off, it doesn't have any pressure. But when the bottle cap is on the bottle and closed, the fluid pressure presses all over the bottle. If the bottle is squeezed, then it will have more pressure. If it is squeezed while the cap is off, then there isn't any pressure, the water will start rising up.
 * Pascal's Principle **

In a water bottle there is just one cap and one air pipe-unless there is a hole in it. If you had a u-shaped pipe that was covered by the same material and the ends had an equal area, then both of the ends would have an equal force like System A. If you pushed on one end, the same amount of pressure would be transfered to the other end. If you had another u-shaped pipe that was covered by the same material but the ends had a unequal area, then the larger end would have more force like System B. Even if you push on the left side with the same force as before, pressure would be greater on the larger end.
