COMPTES RENDUS D'INNOVATIONS Un modèle pour la compréhension des propriétés des liquides

In this paper a proposal aimed at favouring the understanding of fundamentals of hydrostatics, with particular attention to the Pascal principle, is presented. The instruction material was developed in a hypertextual environment and based on a model which explains staticproperties ofliquids. Particularattention is given to the isotropic transmission of forces inside a liquid and to its action on the walls of the container. The model, with appropriate adjustements, can lead to define pressure.
