(N/A) $1$. Line of Flow: $A$ line of flow is a curve whose tangent at any point is in the direction of the fluid velocity at that point. It represents the path taken by a fluid particle as it moves through space.
$2$. Streamline: $A$ streamline is a specific type of line of flow in a steady flow,where the velocity vector at every point along the line is tangent to the streamline. In steady flow,the pattern of streamlines remains constant over time,meaning fluid particles follow the same path.

The surface of water in a water tank of cross-sectional area $750 \,cm^2$ on the top of a house is '$h$' $m$ above the tap level. The speed of water coming out through the tap of cross-sectional area $500 \,mm^2$ is $30 \,cm/s$. At that instant, $\frac{dh}{dt}$ is $x \times 10^{-3} \,m/s$. The value of '$x$' will be:

$A$ pipe having an internal diameter $D$ is connected to another pipe of the same size. Water flows into the second pipe through $n$ holes, each of diameter $d$. If the water in the first pipe has speed $v$, what is the speed of water leaving the second pipe?
