Swiss mathematician and physicist Born in 1700 in Netherlands Remembered for his application to mathematics and mechanics How do we know him? Does anyone remember fluid mechanics? Heard of Bernoullis Law?
How does it matter?
Bernoulli discovered this in 1738 Importance of this is that it is just after the discovery of clear glass This period was coined the rise of science It is useful when designing wings!!!!! Pressure is lower above the wing than below. Pressure differential creates the upwards lift required for flight.
