OR
Define Young's Modulus Of Elasticity and Bulk Modulus [1]
Read the passage carefully and answer any 4 questions
7.Streamline Flow: The flow of the fluid is said to be steady if at any given point, the velocity of each
passing fluid particle remains constant in time. This does not mean that the velocity at different points in
space is same. The velocity of a particular particle may change as it moves from one point to another. That
is, at some other point the particle may have a different velocity, but every other particle which passes the
second point behaves exactly as the previous particle that has just passed that point. Each particle follows
a smooth path, and the paths of the particles do not cross each other
