What is 'streamlining'? How is it useful?

Solution

Streamlining is a phenomenon through which objects are designed in such a way that a fluid passes easily over them with least resistance. Take the example of cars. They have a streamlined shape to allow the air to flow around them easily with least resistance; without this streamlining, the air resistance would be much greater.
