NEET Physics Bernoulli's Principle MCQ Question
A fluid flows through a pipe with varying height and cross-sectional area. At point A, the pressure is 5000 Pa, the velocity is 3 m/s, and the height is 2 m. At point B, the height is 5 m and the velocity is 1 m/s. Assuming the fluid is incompressible and the flow is steady, what is the pressure at point B? (Assume g = 9.8 m/s² and density of the fluid = 1000 kg/m³.)
2300 Pa
4700 Pa
5300 Pa
7700 Pa
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Using Bernoulli's equation, the sum of pressure energy, kinetic energy per unit volume, and potential energy per unit volume remains constant along the streamline. By substituting values for points A and B, the pressure at point B is found to be 2300 Pa.
