Given, u = x²t and v = – 2xyt
We know, δψ = v = -2xyt..........(i) δy δψ = -u = x²t..........(ii) δy
Integrating equation (i), we get
ψ = –x²yt + f(y) ...(iii)
Differentiating equation (iii) with respect to y, we getδψ = -x²t + f(y)........(v) δy
Equating the value of δψ/δy from equations (ii) and (iv), we get
–x²t =–x²t + f'(y)
Since, f'(y) = 0, thus f(y) = C
(where ‘C’ is constant of integration)
ψ = –x²yt + C
C is a numerical constant so it can be taken as zero
ψ = –x²yt
For equation of stream lines,
ψ = constant
–x²yt = constant
For a particular instance,
x²y = constantCorrect Option: A

Given: ux = ax and uy = ay
Equation of steam line is,du = dy ux uy ⇒ du = dy ux uy
Integrating both sides, we have
log(ax) = log(ay) + log c
or ax = c'ay
or x = cy
Since the steam line is passed through point (1, 2), therefore
1 = 2c⇒ c = 1 2 ∴ x = y 2
Hence equation of steam line is
2x – y = 0.Correct Option: C

- Figure shows the schematic for the measurement of velocity of air (density = 1.2 kg/m³) through a constant-area duct using a pitot tube and a water tube manometer. The differential head of water (density = 1000 kg/ m³) in the two columns of the manometer is 10 mm. Take acceleration due to gravity as 9.8 m/s². The velocity of air in m/s is 10 m m

From Bernoulli's equation
v²1 - v²2 = p2 - p1 2g 2g ⇒ v1 = √ (p2 - p1) pa
But p2 - p1 = (ρgh)water
= 9810 × 10 × 10– 3
= 98.1 N/m²⇒ v1 = √ 2 × 98.1 = 12.8 m/s 1.2 Correct Option: C
