HOW TO DO Blowing
A Lifting of a paper strip on blowing: air

1 Take a small paper strip and place it in front of your

mouth. Velocity low Pressure high
2 Now blow the air over the strip of paper in horizontal Fig. 13. Lifting of a paper strip on biowing

OBSERVATION
It is observed that the paper strip moves up.
CONCLUSION
On blowing air over the paper strip, the velocity of air increases, Thread
which creates low pressure above the air and high pressure below
the air. This difference in pressure, lifts the paper strip.

2. The two balls should be suspended near each other. Sart
3. Now, blow the air from the mouth in between two ping-pong balls Blowing air

Yd
When air is blown between the two ping-pong balls, the velocity of air increases between the balls which
creates low air pressure between them, so that the two balls come close to each other.

VIVA VOCE QUESTIONS:

Q1. Explain Bernoulli's theorem.
Ans. Bernoulli's theorem states that in streamline flow of an ideal liquid, through a horizontal tube.
the velocity increases whereas the pressure decreases and vice-versa.
Q2. What is the streamline flow of a liquid?
Ans. The streamline flow of a liquid is that flow in which every particle of the liquid follows
exactly
the path of its preceding particle and has the same velocity as that of its
preceding particle
while crossing through that point.
Q3. Explain turbulent fow of a liquid.
Ans. When a liquid moves with a velocity greater than its critical velocity, the motion of particles of
liquid becomes disorderly or irregular, such a flow of liquid is called turbulent flow.
Q4. What is the critical velocity of a liquid?
Ans. It is that velocity of liquid flow upto which its flow is streamlined and above which its flow
turbulent. becomes
Q5. What is the laminar flow of a liquid?
Ans. A flow in which the liquid moves in layers is called a
laminar flow.
Q6. What is Reynold Number?
Ans. Reynold Number is a pure number which determines the nature of flow of liquid
Q7. What is the principle of atomiser or sprayer? through a p
Ans. It is based on the principle of Bernoulli's theorem.
Q8. What is pressure energy of a liquid?
Ans. The energy possessed by a liquid by virtue of its pressure is
called pressure energy.
Q9. Explain equation of continuity.
Ans. When an ideal fluid flowing in streamline, the velocity of fow is inversely proportional to the
of cross-section.
Q10. Give some applications of Bernoulli's theorem.
Ans. i) Atomizer (ii) Venturimeter (iii) Magnus effect, ete.
