Question
Can Bernoulli’s equation be used to describe the flow of water through a rapid in a river? Explain.
✓
Answer
Bernoulli's equation cannot be used to describe the flow of water through a rapid in a river because of the turbulent flow of water. This principle can only be applied to a streamline flow.
