Pascal's Principle states that pressure applied to a confined fluid is transmitted equally in all directions. Squeezing one end of a toothpaste tube increases pressure throughout the tube, pushing toothpaste out the other end. Bernoulli's Principle states that as the velocity of a moving fluid increases, the pressure within the fluid decreases. In Figure 4, the balloons move toward each other because the higher velocity of air between them results in lower pressure than outside, where velocity and pressure are higher.
