NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about the application of Bernoulli’s equation in fluid mechanics is correct?
Gauge pressure can be used interchangeably with absolute pressure when applying Bernoulli’s equation.
Bernoulli’s equation only applies to incompressible fluids flowing through varying cross-sections.
The pressure difference in Bernoulli’s equation accounts for both kinetic and potential energy changes of the fluid.
Bernoulli’s equation is applicable only in ideal fluid conditions without any viscosity.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The pressure difference in Bernoulli’s equation, as derived in the context, accounts for changes in both kinetic and gravitational potential energy of the fluid, which is evident from the rearrangement of terms in the provided formula.
