Answer
Bernoulli's principle states that as the speed of a fluid increases, its pressure decreases. This principle is used in a variety of technologies, including carburetors and airplane wings. In a carburetor, the air flows through a venturi, which is a narrow section of pipe. As the air flows through the venturi, its speed increases and its pressure decreases.
