Which of the following physical principles explains the dynamic lift generated on the wings of an aircraft during flight?

A. Archimedes' principle
B. Bernoulli's principle✓ Correct Answer
C. Pascal's law
D. Torricelli's law

💡 Solution & Explanation

Bernoulli's principle establishes that higher fluid speed corresponds to lower static pressure, an aerodynamic property utilized by airfoil-shaped aircraft wings to generate upward lift. Wrong selections involve hydrostatic or hydraulic principles that govern buoyancy or incompressible fluid transmission rather than dynamic aerodynamic lift. Fluid mechanics applications are important in general physics evaluations.
