Johann Bernoulli
Johann Bernoulli was an 18th-century mathematician and physicist known for his work in mathematics and fluid mechanics. He introduced Bernoulli's principle, which describes how the speed of a fluid affects its pressure; faster-moving fluid exerts less pressure. This principle is fundamental in fields like aerodynamics and hydrodynamics, influencing the design of aircraft wings and pipelines. In Lagrangian mechanics, he contributed to the understanding of motion by analyzing energy and forces, laying groundwork for modern physics. His ideas continue to impact engineering, explaining behaviors of various physical systems involving motion and fluid flow.
