Which principle explains the phrase "deep water runs still" in fluid dynamics?
Answer: Continuity equation
Explanation
The continuity equation in fluid dynamics states that the product of cross-sectional area and velocity remains constant for incompressible fluids.
So, in deeper (wider) parts of a river or pipe, the velocity of water is lower — hence the phrase:
"Deep water runs still."
