A Gipsy car has a canvass top. When the car runs at high speed, the top bulges out. Explain.

उत्तर
This can be explained through Bernoulli's principle, which states that the higher the air speed, the lower the pressure in that area. Because the air inside the car does not move, the pressure in the car is atmospheric. Because air moves outside the car (directly above it), the pressure is low. The canvas top of the Gipsy car is pushed upwards because the pressure inside the car is greater than the pressure directly above the car.
