(N/A) Pascal's law states that a change in pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to every portion of the fluid and to the walls of the container.
Two common devices that operate on this principle are:
$1$. Hydraulic lift: Used to lift heavy objects like cars in service stations.
$2$. Hydraulic brakes: Used in automobiles to stop or slow down the vehicle by applying pressure to the brake fluid.

Why does the bottom of a bottle filled with liquid break when the cork is hit?

$A$ tall tank filled with water has an irregular shape as shown. The wall $CD$ makes an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal,the wall $AB$ is normal to the base $BC$. The lengths $AB$ and $CD$ are much smaller than the height $h$ of water (figure not to scale). Let $p_1, p_2$ and $p_3$ be the pressures exerted by the water on the wall $AB$,base $BC$ and the wall $CD$ respectively. Density of water is $\rho$ and $g$ is acceleration due to gravity. Then,approximately
