if water is flowing in a streamline motion then at 2 points at same horizontal level can the pressure be same if area is not same ?
please help!

Pressure is the force per unit area exerted by a fluid on a surface. It is typically measured in units of Pascals (Pa) using a pressure gauge, which may be mechanical, electronic, or a manometer.
No, pressure levels are not the same in streams with unequal areas. According to Bernoulli's principle, the pressure of a fluid decreases as its velocity increases. Therefore, in a stream with unequal areas, where the velocity changes, the pressure will also change.
Unequal areas in a stream affect pressure levels by causing changes in the velocity of the fluid. As the stream narrows, the velocity increases and the pressure decreases, while the opposite occurs when the stream widens.
The relationship between pressure and area in a stream is inverse. As the area decreases, the velocity of the fluid increases, causing a decrease in pressure. Similarly, as the area increases, the velocity decreases, resulting in an increase in pressure.
The unequal pressure levels in streams with unequal areas affect fluid flow by creating areas of higher and lower pressure. This difference in pressure can cause the fluid to move from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, resulting in fluid flow and potential changes in the stream's direction or speed.
