NEETPhysicsMechanical Properties of Fluids
Which of the following devices or phenomena does NOT work on the basis of Bernoulli's principle?
Options
- AAtomiser
- BDynamic lift of an aeroplane
- CHydraulic lift
- DVenturi-meter
Correct answer
C. Hydraulic lift
Step-by-step solution
Venturi-meter, atomiser, and the dynamic lift of an aeroplane are all direct applications of Bernoulli's principle, as they rely on the relationship between fluid speed and pressure. A hydraulic lift works on the basis of Pascal's law, which states that pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to every portion of the fluid and the walls of the containing vessel. Answer: Hydraulic lift
