Solution

To determine which option is NOT an application of Pascal's principle, we need to analyze each choice based on the principle itself, which states that a change in pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to every point of the fluid and the walls of its container.

  1. Manual car lift: This device uses hydraulic fluid to lift cars, transferring pressure through a fluid.
  2. Bicycle brakes: Bicycle brakes often operate using hydraulic systems, where pressure is applied to the brake fluid, which in turn applies force to the brakes on the wheels.
  3. Electric fan: An electric fan operates using electric motors to turn blades; it does not involve fluid pressure and Pascal's principle.
  4. Car brakes: Similar to bicycle brakes, many car braking systems use hydraulic pressure to transmit force to the brake pads.
  5. Blood pumped by the heart: The heart pumps blood through the circulatory system using pressure, fitting the definition of Pascal’s principle.

Final Answer

The option that is NOT an application of Pascal's principle is An electric fan.
