Daniel Bernoulli

Daniel Bernoulli was an 18th-century mathematician and physicist known for his work in fluid mechanics, particularly for the principle that bears his name. Bernoulli's principle states that in a flowing fluid, increased speed leads to lower pressure. This concept helps explain various phenomena, from how airplanes generate lift to how musical instruments create sound through vibrating air. His contributions extend to statistical mechanics and energy conservation, laying the groundwork for understanding the behavior of fluids, gases, and even solids in motion. Bernoulli's work remains foundational in physics and engineering disciplines today.
