Each term of the Bernoulli's equation written in the form, (p/ρ) + (g/gc). Z + (v2/2gc) = constant, represents the total energy per unit ________________?

Correct answer: A. Mass

A. Mass
B. Volume
C. Specific weight
D. None of these

Explanation

Each term has dimensions of energy per unit mass: pressure divided by density, potential-energy term, and kinetic-energy term all reduce to m²/s². This is specific energy, so the unit basis is mass.
