According to the Bernoulli's principle, when the pressure decreases during the flow of fluid through different sections of a pipe, then the speed of the fluid will
Correct answer: A. Increase
- A. Increase
- B. Decrease
- C. Become zero
- D. Remain the same
Explanation
According to Bernoulli's principle, when a fluid flows through a pipe and experiences a decrease in pressure, the speed of the fluid actually increases. This is due to the conservation of energy within the fluid flow. Therefore, the correct answer is that the speed of the fluid will increase. The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the principle that a decrease in pressure corresponds to an increase in speed.

About Bernoulli's Equation
Bernoulli’s equation applies conservation of energy to steady flow of an incompressible, non-viscous fluid along a streamline: pressure, kinetic and gravitational terms have a constant total. It explains pressure-speed changes in narrow pipes, Venturi meters and lift, and differs from continuity because it relates pressure as well as velocity and height.
