SSC CGL 2023 PYQ — Question 43

SSC CGL - 19 July 2023 - Shift 3 • General Awareness • Q43

Whose law states that total energy per unit mass of flowing fluid, at any point in the subsurface, is the sum of the kinetic, potential, and fluid-pressure energy and is equal to a constant value?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Daniel Bernoulli

  • Daniel Bernoulli formulated what is commonly referred to as Bernoulli's Principle, rather than a "law" per se.
  • Bernoulli's Principle states that within a steady flow of fluid, an increase in the speed of the fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in pressure or a decrease in the fluid's potential energy.
