Communicating vessels is a term in physics used to denote a set of containers with homogeneous liquid inside. Two or more vessels are joined below the level of liquid so that it balances out to to the same level in all containers regardless of their shape and volume. The principle of communicating vessels and Law of Pascal* is used in hydraulic mechanisms. Their task is to transmit pressure in order to generate strong power where necessary. This principle is used in operating hydraulic lifts and hydraulick anchors of vehicles.<\/p>\n
