2. (Problem 2.5) For steady flow through a conical nozzle of length L, the velocity in the direction of flow, x direction, is approximately √x = Uo (1-1)-2 where Uo is the velocity at the entrance to the nozzle. (a) Determine the acceleration in the x direction at x = 1 m for Uo = 5 m s¹ and L = 2 m. (b) The velocity given by the above equation is approximate. Identify two locations along the nozzle where the velocity will not be correct.
