Pascal's principle: If an external pressure is applied to a confined fluid, the pressure at every point within the fluid increases by that amount.
Archimedes' principle: The buoyant force on an object immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by that object.

Bernoulli's principle: Where the velocity of fluid is high, the pressure is low; and where the velocity is low, the pressure is high.
