Pitot tube measures the ______________ of a fluid?
Correct answer: D. Point velocity
- A. Pressure
- B. Average velocity
- C. Average flow rate
- D. Point velocity
Explanation
A Pitot tube brings the fluid at a point to rest and uses the resulting stagnation pressure to calculate the velocity at that point. It does not directly measure average velocity or flow rate.
