Which principle states that an increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in static pressure or a decrease in the fluid's potential energy?
A. Pascal's principle
B. Archimedes' principle
C. Bernoulli's principle✓ Correct Answer
D. Torricelli's law
💡 Solution & Explanation
Bernoulli's principle establishes that an increase in the speed of an inviscid, incompressible fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in static pressure or potential energy along a streamline. Archimedes' principle deals with buoyancy and displaced fluid weight, whereas Pascal's principle explains pressure transmission in enclosed static fluids.
