(N/A) According to Bernoulli's theorem,when the velocity of fluid flow increases,the pressure decreases.
As the boats move parallel to each other,the water in the region between the boats is forced to move faster relative to the boats compared to the water on the outer sides.
Consequently,the pressure exerted by the water in the region between the boats becomes lower than the pressure of the water on the outer sides.
This pressure difference creates a net force that pushes both boats toward each other,causing them to attract.

$A$ wind with speed $50 \,m/s$ blows parallel to the roof of a house. The area of the roof is $300 \,m^2$. Assume that the pressure inside the house is atmospheric pressure. The density of air is $1.2 \,kg/m^3$. The magnitude of the force exerted by the wind on the roof will be:

Explain blood flow and heart attack with the help of Bernoulli's principle.

The figure shows a liquid of given density flowing steadily in a horizontal tube of varying cross-section. The cross-sectional areas at $A$ is $1.5 \, cm^2$,and at $B$ is $25 \, mm^2$. If the speed of the liquid at $B$ is $60 \, cm/s$,then find $(P_A - P_B)$ in $Pa$. (Given: $P_A$ and $P_B$ are liquid pressures at points $A$ and $B$ respectively. Density $\rho = 1000 \, kg/m^3$. $A$ and $B$ are on the axis of the tube.)
