Question
Does it matter if one uses gauge instead of absolute pressures in applying Bernoulli’s equation? Explain.

Answer

No, it does not matter if one uses gauge pressure instead of absolute pressure while applying Bernoulli’s equation. The two points where Bernoulli’s equation is applied should have significantly different atmospheric pressures.
