Along a streamline

According to the law of continuity,


Along a streamline,


Av=constant.


This means that at a particular cross-section, the velocity of all fluid particles is constant.


Hence, we can say that the velocity of all fluid particles crossing a given position is constant.

The angle of contact at the interface of water-glass is 0°, Ethyl alcohol-glass is 0°, Mercury-glass is 140° and Methyliodideglass is 30°. A glass capillary is put in a trough containing one of these four liquids. It is observed that the meniscus is convex. The liquid in the trough is
