Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Torricelli's law describes the flow of water from a small hole in a container, specifically the speed of the water emerging from the hole. Pascal's principle deals with pressure in a static fluid, Archimedes' principle deals with buoyancy, Poiseuille's equation describes the flow of fluids through a pipe or tube, and Newton's Second law deals with the motion of objects under the influence of forces.
