A stream line is___________________?

Correct answer: A. Fixed in space in steady flow

  • A. Fixed in space in steady flow
  • B. Always the path of particle
  • C. Drawn normal to the velocity vector at every point
  • D. A line connecting the mid points of flow cross-section

Explanation

In steady flow, the velocity field does not change with time, so streamlines remain fixed in space. A streamline is tangent to the velocity vector, not normal to it.
