NEETPhysicsMechanical Properties of Fluids
Why should you blow over, not under, a piece of paper to keep it horizontal?
Options
- ABlowing over the paper increases air velocity and lowers pressure above it.
- BBlowing under the paper creates a downward force due to increased air pressure.
- CBlowing under the paper increases air velocity and raises pressure above it.
- DBlowing over the paper creates a vacuum effect, keeping it horizontal.
Correct answer
A. Blowing over the paper increases air velocity and lowers pressure above it.
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (A) Blowing over the paper increases air velocity and lowers pressure above it.
