[XKCD] Pascal's Law
(imgs.xkcd.com)
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
I like to explain it using the word "spend".
Like all levers you spend one quantity to get another. Usually distance/force; you spend distance to get force, or you spend force to get distance.
This is a way better and simpler explanation of the general principle. Thanks
Work is the product of force and distance traveled.
