Consider a pipe containing a fluid, with the fluid being at rest.To apply Bernoulli's equation to this situation:
A)set v equal to zero because there is no motion
B)set g equal to zero because there is no acceleration
C)set v and g both equal to zero
D)set p equal to the atmospheric pressure
E)cannot be done, Bernoulli's equation applies only to fluids in motion
