NEET Physics Bernoulli's Principle MCQ Question
Consider a diagram depicting a pipe with varying cross-sectional areas and heights through which an incompressible fluid flows steadily. According to Bernoulli's principle, which of the following statements correctly describes the relationship between pressure and velocity in this setup?
Pressure is higher where the velocity of the fluid is lower.
Pressure is the same at all points regardless of velocity changes.
Pressure decreases as the velocity of the fluid decreases.
Pressure increases as the velocity of the fluid increases.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Bernoulli's principle states that in a steady flow of an incompressible fluid, the pressure is inversely related to the velocity. Therefore, pressure is higher where the fluid velocity is lower.
