The stream function for an incompressible flow field is given by the equation

\[ \psi=3 x^{2} y-y^{3} \]

where the stream function has the units of \(\mathrm{m}^{2} / \mathrm{s}\) with \(x\) and \(y\) in meters.

(a) Sketch the streamline(s) passing through the origin.

(b) Determine the rate of flow across the straight path \(A B\) shown in Fig. P6.20.
