explain in detail two application of Bernoulli's theorem
Answers
Answer:
(i) Attraction between two closely parallel moving boats (or buses): When two boats or buses move side by side in the same direction, the water (or air) in the region between them moves faster than that on the remote sides
Explanation:
Two applications of Bernoulli's theorem are:
1. Attraction between two closely parallel moving boats (or buses): When two boats or buses move side by side in the same direction, the water (or air) in the region between them moves faster than that on the remote sides. Consequently in accordance with Bernoulli’s principle the pressure between them is reduced and hence due to pressure difference they are pulled towards each other creating the so called attraction.
2. Working of an Aeroplane: This is also based on Bernoulli’s principle. The wings of the aeroplane are of the shape as shown in fig. Due to this specific shape of wings when the aeroplane runs, air passes at higher speed over it as compared to its lower surface. This difference of air speeds above and below the wings, in accordance with Bernoulli’s principle, creates a pressure difference, due to which an upward force called ‘dynamic lift’ (= pressure difference × area of wing) acts on the plane. If this force becomes greater than the weight of the plane, the plane will rise up.
