Fluid Pressure and Flow in a Pipe

Very Easy Physics Fluid Mechanics

In fluid mechanics, the behavior of liquids in motion is described by principles of flow and forces acting within these fluids. One of the fundamental concepts is that of pressure within a fluid. Consider a scenario where a fluid is flowing through a horizontal pipe. According to Pascal's principle, when pressure is applied to a confined fluid, the pressure change occurs throughout the fluid. This principle holds true in the context of various biological systems, such as blood flow in the veins and arteries. Which statement correctly describes the relationship between fluid pressure and fluid flow in a horizontal pipe?
