Answer:
b. False
Explanation:
The Bernoulli's equation is given by;
[tex]P + \rho gh + \frac{1}{2} \rho v^2 = constat[/tex]
Divide through by the density of the fluid and acceleration due to gravity (ρg), to obtain energy per unit weight of the fluid known as head;
[tex]\frac{P}{\rho g} + h + \frac{v^2}{2g} = constant[/tex]
where;
[tex]\frac{P}{\rho g}[/tex] is pressure head
h is datum head (mechanical energy due to height of the fluid)
[tex]\frac{v^2}{2g}[/tex] is velocity head (mechanical energy due to velocity of the fluid)
Thus, the mechanical energy of a fluid per unit weight of the fluid, measured relative to the bottom of the channel is datum head.
The correct option is "b. False"
