Mechanical Properties Of Fluids

Question
CBSEENPH11018493

Two streamlines cannot cross each other. Why?

Solution
Streamline is a line, straight or curved tangent to which at any point gives the direction of flow of liquid at that point. If two streamlines cross each other, then at that point there will be two tangents and hence two directions of flow of liquid, which is impossible.
Therefore, two streamlines cannot cross each other.
