An application of Bernoulli's equation for fluid flow is found in:
Correct answer: A. Dynamic lift of an airplane
- A. Dynamic lift of an airplane
- B. Viscosity meter
- C. Capillary rise
- D. Hydraulic press
Explanation
Bernoulli's principle relates pressure and velocity and explains pressure differences over an airplane wing that produce lift; viscosity meters and capillarity involve other principles.

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.
