Pascal’s principle interactive model for kinesthetic learners

This study was conducted to develop an interactive and hands-on educational tool on Pascal’s principle that targeted to be used by kinesthetic learners. The Pascal's principle, also known as the principle of transmission of fluid pressure, states that when there is an increase in pressure at any point in an enclosed fluid, the pressure is transmitted equally to all parts of the fluid and the walls of the container. This principle is fundamental in the operation of hydraulic systems. A hydraulic excavator arm utilizes Pascal's principle to perform its work. The arm consists of a series of hydraulic cylinders, pistons, and hoses. When hydraulic fluid is pumped into one side of the cylinder, it exerts pressure on the piston, which in turn generates a force. This force is transmitted through the hydraulic fluid to other connected cylinders in the system. The pressure created by the force is equal in all directions, allowing the excavator arm to move and lift heavy loads with ease.
