Bernoulli's principle Flashcards
1
Q
What does Bernoulli’s Principle state
A
- Bernoulli’s principle states that as the speed of a fluid increases, its pressure decreases.
- It’s formula can be derived from principle of conservation of energy
2
Q
Bernoulli’s principle formula
A
P + 0.5 X p X v^2 + p X g X h = constant
P -> Pressure exerted by fluid
v -> Velocity of Fluid
p -> Density of fluid
h -> height of container

Q
What does Torricelli’s Law state
A
It states that the speed of liquid flowing out of a tank depends on the square root of the height
h between the liquid surface and the opening.
