Question

Bernoulli's principle states that pressure on a fluid is transmitted through the fluid undiminished and acts equally on all points.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

This statement is false. It was not Bernoulli's principle who stated that pressure on a liquid transmitted through the fluid undiminished and acts equally on all point, instead it was Pascal's principle. Bernoulli's principle states that for an inviscid flow of a nonconducting fluid, an increase in the speed of the fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in pressure.
