Daniel Bernoulli was born into a family of mathemeticians on February 8, 1700. He was the only person in his family to make an impressive mark on physics. Bernoulli became a Swiss physicist and mathmatician who made enourmous contributions to the world of physics. He uncovered many significant phenomena in hydrodynamics, and in 1738, published his most famous work, Hydrodynamica, which was a study of equilibrium, pressure, and velocity of fluids. He proved that as the velocity of …showed first 75 words of 1123 total…

In conclusion, Bernoulli contributed much to the world and to the realm of physics. Daniel Bernoulli derived a fundamental expression that relates pressure to fluid speed and elevation. Bernoulli?s equation is not a freestanding law of physics, but instead a consequence of energy conservation as applied to the ideal fluid.
