According to Bernoulli's equation P/ρg +h+v2/2g =. The terms P/ρg,h,v2/2g and are called respectively:

Correct answer: C. Pressure head, gravitational head, and velocity head

  • A. Gravitational head, pressure head, and velocity head
  • B. Gravity, gravitational head, and velocity head
  • C. Pressure head, gravitational head, and velocity head
  • D. Gravity pressure and velocity head

Explanation

In Bernoulli form P/(ρ g) is the pressure head, h is the gravitational (elevation) head, and v²/(2g) is the velocity head. Thus the correct sequence is (pressure head, gravitational head, velocity head.

About Fluid Dynamics

Fluid flow is described through speed, pressure and density, including steady flow and the equation of continuity for conserving mass. Bernoulli's equation relates pressure, speed and height, while fluid drag and terminal velocity explain why a falling object eventually moves at constant speed when drag balances its weight.
