**Section 4.10** 
(Refer to "Fluids in the News" article titled "Follow those particles," Section 4.1.) Two photographs of four particles in a flow past a sphere are superimposed as shown in Fig. P4.10. The time interval between the photos is \(\Delta t = 0.002 \, \text{s}\). The locations of the particles, as determined from the photos, are shown in the table.

**Task:**
(a) Determine the fluid velocity for these particles.
(b) Plot a graph to compare the results of part (a) with the theoretical velocity, which is given by \(V = V_0 (1 + a^2/x^2)\), where \(a\) is the sphere radius and \(V_0\) is the fluid speed far from the sphere.

**Diagram Description:**

- **Figure P4.10** provides a visual representation of the experiment. 
- The particles' positions at two different times are marked along a horizontal axis.
- The axis includes a sphere, depicted centrally, with distances marked on either side to indicate the positions of particles at the given time intervals, illustrating their movement relative to the sphere.
