Answer:

The correct option is;

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The unit of pressure, P = Pascals = N/m²

The unit of volume, V = m³

The unit of power = N·m/s

Therefore, we have;

P × V = N/m² × m³ = N·m = The unit of work done by the fluid

The power of the fluid = (The unit of work done by the fluid)/Time

∴ Fluid power = N/m² × m³/Δt = N/m² × V/Δt = P × V/Δt

Where;

V/Δt = Q = The flow rate

Fluid power = P × V/Δt

Therefore, fluid power utilizes three variables, not two, to transmit power from one location to another, which are;

1) The pressure of the fluid

2) The volume of the fluid transmitted

3) The time in which the given volume is transmitted

The variables of volume and time combine to give the flow rate of the fluid

The correct option is false.
