The velocity field of a given flow in Cartesian coordinates can be expressed as V = (5z − 3)ˆi + (x + 3)ˆj + 4ykˆ ft/s, where x, y, and z are in feet. Determine the fluid speed at the origin (0, 0, 0) and along the x-axis (y = z = 0).

Respuesta :

Answer:

The fluid speed along the origin is  [tex]|v| =  5\  ft /s[/tex]

The fluid speed of along x-axis(y = z = 0) is [tex]|v| =  \sqrt{ 9 + (x +4)^2} \ ft/s[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The velocity is  [tex]v  =  (5z -3)i + (x + 4 )j + 4yk[/tex]

Generally at origin [tex]x = 0 \  m ,  \   y = 0\  m  \ ,  z = 0 \  m[/tex]

So at the origin the equation becomes

     [tex]v = -3i + 4j  +0k[/tex]

Generally the magnitude of the speed at origin is mathematically represented as

       [tex] |v| =  \sqrt{ (-3)^2 +  (4)^2 + (0)^2} [/tex]

=>     [tex]|v| =  5\  ft /s[/tex]

Generally the velocity on the x- axis (  y= z = 0 ) is mathematically represented as

       [tex]v = -3i + (x + 4)j[/tex]

Generally the magnitude of the speed is  

      [tex]|v| =  \sqrt{ (-3)^2 + (x +4)^2}[/tex]    

      [tex]|v| =  \sqrt{ 9 + (x +4)^2} \ ft/s[/tex]
