why is it important to use incompressible fluid rather than a compressible one for systems functioning according to pascal's principle .
Added by Michael J.
Step 1
Step 1: Pascal's principle states that a change in pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to all portions of the fluid and to the walls of its container. Show more…

Compressible fluids. Throughout this chapter, we have dealt only with incompressible fluids. But under very high pressure, fluids do, in fact, compress. (a) Show that the continuity condition for compressible fluids is $\rho_{1} A_{1} v_{1}=\rho_{2} A_{2} v_{2}$ where $\rho$ is the density of the fluid. (b) Show that your result reduces to the familiar result for incompressible fluids.
