Question

In an incompressible liquid flow, mass conservation leads to:

• A. Equation of continuity
• B. Bernoulli's law
• C. Stokes' law
• D. Torricelli's law
• E. Pascal's law

Hint:

The equation of continuity ensures that the volume of an incompressible fluid remains the same at different points in a streamline.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The equation of continuity states that in an incompressible and steady fluid flow, the mass flow rate remains constant at different cross-sections: \[ A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2 \] where \( A \) is the cross-sectional area and \( v \) is the velocity of the fluid.
