The Bernoulli Principle

The Bernoulli Principle states that in a flowing fluid, an increase in the fluid's speed occurs simultaneously with a decrease in its pressure or potential energy. Essentially, when a fluid moves faster in one area, there is less pressure in that same area. This principle explains why airplane wings generate lift (faster airflow above the wing reduces pressure) and helps in understanding how pumps and carburetors work. It highlights the relationship between speed and pressure in fluid dynamics, influencing various applications in engineering and everyday life.
