Physics · MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF FLUIDS
हिन्दीGiven below are statements regarding streamline flow and Bernoulli's equation: (A) In steady flow, the velocity of each fluid particle passing a particular point remains invariant with time. (B) Streamlines can intersect each other when the flow transitions to a high velocity. (C) Bernoulli's equation strictly applies only to steady, incompressible, and non-viscous (zero viscosity) flow. (D) Along a horizontal streamline, regions of higher fluid speed correspond to regions of higher static pressure. Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Correct answer · Option C
and (C) only
Explanation
Streamlines can never intersect because two velocities cannot exist at the same point (B is false). By Bernoulli's equation, along a horizontal streamline, higher speed means lower static pressure (D is false). Statements (A) and (C) are strictly correct.
