Which among the following is the formula for momentum principle?

(a) pv = 0

(b) p1p2 = 0

(c) P1V1 + P2V2 = 0

(d) P1A1+P2A2 + F = mV2mV1

The question was posed to me in an interview for job.

This intriguing question comes from Basic Equations of Compressible Flow topic in portion Compressible Flow of Fluid Mechanics

Correct answer is (d) P1A1+P2A2 + F = mV2mV1

Explanation: For a finite control of volume between two sections, section 1 and section 2, the momentum principle is P1A1 + P2A2 + F = mV2mV1. Where F = component of resultant force exerted on the fluid walls.
