Fluid flowing through a pipe trades pressure for speed — that's Bernoulli's principle. Solve for pressure, velocity, or height at any two points along the flow.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Bernoulli's equation?
Bernoulli's equation states that P + ½ρv² + ρgh = constant along a streamline, where P is pressure, ρ is fluid density, v is velocity, g is gravitational acceleration, and h is height.
What does Bernoulli's principle explain in everyday life?
Bernoulli's principle explains phenomena like airplane lift, why shower curtains billow inward, and how a curveball curves — faster-moving fluid exerts lower pressure.
