Class 11PhysicsFluid Mechanics and Surface TensionBernoulli's Theorem and Applications of Bernoulli's Theory
EasyCan Bernoulli's equation be used to describe the flow of water through a rapid in a river? Explain.
(N/A) No.
Bernoulli's equation cannot be used to describe the flow of water through a rapid in a river because the flow is turbulent. Bernoulli's principle is derived based on the assumption of steady,incompressible,and non-viscous flow along a streamline. In a river rapid,the water flow is highly irregular,chaotic,and turbulent,which violates these fundamental assumptions.

The flow is steady and the pressure is constant throughout the stream of water. The distance $h$ vertically below the tap,where the cross-sectional area of the stream becomes $\frac{2}{3} A$,is (take $g = 10 \,m/s^2$): (in $\,m$)
