Equation of continuity is based on the

Correct answer: A. Law of conservation of mass

  • A. Law of conservation of mass
  • B. Law of conservation of energy
  • C. Law of conservation of charge
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Continuity (A₁v₁ = A₂v₂) ensures mass is conserved in steady incompressible flow: mass entering equals mass leaving.

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.
