  2. velocity and pressure are inversely proportional
  3. total energy is constant throughout
  4. the energy is constant along a stream-line but may vary across streamlines
  5. none of the above.

Correct answer: (D)
the energy is constant along a stream-line but may vary across streamlines

24. According to the principle of buoyancy a body totally or partially immersed in a fluid will be lifted up by a force equal to

  1. the weight of the body
  2. more than the weight of the body
  3. less than the weight of the body
  4. weight of the fluid displaced by the body
