  1. Question 1

    Q1. Air of density 1.2 kg/m³ flows horizontally. If the speed increases from 10 m/s to 20 m/s, what is the resulting decrease in pressure?

    • A) 120 Pa
    • B) 180 Pa
    • C) 300 Pa
    • D) 360 Pa

    Answer: 180 Pa

    Explanation: Using Bernoulli's equation for horizontal flow, ΔP = 0.5 * ρ * (v2² - v1²). Here, 0.5 * 1.2 * (400 - 100) equals 180 Pa.
