If an object or fluid is made out of heavier atoms or molecules, then it’s going to have a higher density.

Pressure = density x gravity x height Change in Pressure = density x gravity x change in height

“If you apply pressure to a confined fluid, the pressure in every part of the fluid increases by that amount.”

U shaped tube with a fluid inside

Long vertical tube filled with mercury. Mercury is used because it is a very dense liquid which means the air pressure supports a much shorter column so barometers can be smaller.

The mass flow rate at one point in the pipe will be equal to the mass flow rate at any other point.

P + 1/2 p v^2 + pgy = a constant

KE = 1/2 mv^2. Bernoulli divided this form of energy by volume, to get half the fluid's density, times its velocity squared.

So when you look at his equation piece by piece, you can see that Bernoulli was really just putting conservation of energy into a special form that would be useful for fluids.

Uses conservation of energy to find the velocity of fluid flowing from a small spout in a container.
