No

Bernoulli’s equation cannot be used to describe the flow of water through a rapid in a river because of the turbulent flow of water. This principle can only be applied to a streamline flow.

A fluid is flowing through a horizontal pipe of varying cross-section, with speed $v\;ms^{-1}$ at a point where the pressure is $P$ Pascal. At another point where pressure is $\frac{ P }{2}$ Pascal its speed is $V\;ms^{-1}$. If the density of the fluid is $\rho\, kg\, m ^{-3}$ and the flow is streamline, then $V$ is equal to
