Question
**Velocity Field in Cartesian Coordinates** The velocity field of a given flow in Cartesian coordinates can be expressed as: \[ V = (5z - 3)\hat{i} + (x + 3)\hat{j} + 4y\hat{k} \, \text{ft/s}, \] where \( x, y, \) and \( z \) are in feet. **Problem Statement** Determine the fluid speed at the origin \((0, 0, 0)\) and along the x-axis \((y = z = 0)\). **Explanation** - The velocity vector \( V \) consists of three components: - The \( \hat{i} \) component is \( (5z - 3) \), - The \( \hat{j} \) component is \( (x + 3) \), - The \( \hat{k} \) component is \( 4y \). - To find the speed at a point, compute the magnitude of the velocity vector \( V \). **Instructions** 1. Substitute the given coordinates into the velocity expression. 2. Calculate the magnitude of the velocity vector accordingly.
