SUMMARY
This discussion centers on the application of Bernoulli's law in a system involving a tube (B) connected to a reservoir (A). It concludes that the pressure in reservoir A is not necessarily lower than in tube B due to the velocity difference, as the fluid in A and B are in different streamlines. The Venturi effect is mentioned as a relevant concept when considering changes in pipe diameter and ambient pressure. The neglect of gravity in this scenario is also highlighted as a critical factor in the analysis.
