Which statement is true about a metamorphic rock that was exposed to stress equally from all directions?

If the rock was exposed to pressure equally from all directions, then it will likely not show foliation


Does point in the atmosphere exerts pressure equally in all directions?

downwards


What is the force exerted by air in all directions?

The force exerted by air in all directions is called air pressure. It is caused by the collisions of air molecules with surfaces. Air pressure is exerted equally in all directions and decreases as altitude increases.


Is it true that behind hydraulic devices is that pressure is transmitted equally in all directions in a gas?

Partly, but not entirely.Pressure is transmitted equally, but by a liquid.Gases are used in pneumatics.


What is a hydraulic device?

machine that takes advantage of the fact that pressure is sorted out equally in all directions possible in a liquid. :)

Does a bouyant force act in all directions?

The pressure of a liquid acts in all directions. The "buoyant force" is upwards; it is the net force related to the fact that at the bottom of a fluid, the pressure is higher than at the top.


What states that a change in pressure at any point in a fluid in a closed container is transmitted equally and unchanged in all directions throughout the fluid?

booty.


What is pascals law?

Pascal's Law states that if you apply pressure to fluids that are confined (or can't flow to anywhere), the fluids will then transmit (or send out) that same pressure in all directions at the same rate.


How is fluid pressure distributed at a given level in fluid?

Fluid Pressure is evenly distributed at a given level in fluid. Your welcome


How would you distinguish force and pressure?

One way to distinguish between the two is that force is a vector quantity that has both magnitude and direction. Pressure is omni-directional and acts on all directions equally.


How does Pascal's principle describe the transmission of pressure through a fluid?

According to Pascal's principle, a change in pressure at any point in a fluid is transmitted equally and unchanged in all directions throughout the fluid.
