What is one application of Bernoulli's principle?
Operation of carburetor
Generation of electricity
Food processing
Rocket propulsion
Answer
Bernoulli's principle states that an increase in the velocity of a fluid results in a decrease in the pressure exerted by the fluid. The operation of a carburetor is based on this principle. In a carburetor, the air enters through a venturi, which is a constriction in the air intake. As the air flows through the venturi, its velocity increases and its pressure decreases.
