Class 11PhysicsFluid Mechanics and Surface TensionBernoulli's Theorem and Applications of Bernoulli's Theory
MediumWhy do two rowing boats moving parallel to each other come closer (attract) to each other?
(N/A) According to Bernoulli's theorem,when the velocity of fluid flow increases,the pressure decreases.
As the boats move parallel to each other,the water in the region between the boats is forced to move faster relative to the boats compared to the water on the outer sides.
Consequently,the pressure exerted by the water in the region between the boats becomes lower than the pressure of the water on the outer sides.
This pressure difference creates a net force that pushes both boats toward each other,causing them to attract.

Blood velocity: The flow of blood in a large artery of an anesthetised dog is diverted through a Venturi meter. The wider part of the meter has a cross-sectional area equal to that of the artery,$A = 8 \; mm^2$. The narrower part has an area $a = 4 \; mm^2$. The pressure drop in the artery is $24 \; Pa$. What is the speed (in $m/s$) of the blood in the artery?
