The acceleration

Answer to Problem 4.1P
The given flow is an unsteady flow.
The flow is a three dimensional flow.
The acceleration vector of the velocity field is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Write the expression for the idealized velocity field.
Here, the variables for position are
The given point on the velocity field is
A unsteady flow is a flow that changes with respect to time.
The given velocity field has a component of time. Hence, the flow is an unsteady flow.
A two dimensional flow is a flow that has two components of velocity and a three dimensional flow has three components of velocity.
As the given flow field has three components of velocity hence, it is a three dimensional flow.

- **Problem 8-45.** The man has a mass of 60 kg and the crate has a mass of 100 kg. If the coefficient of static friction between his shoes and the ground is \( \mu_s = 0.4 \) and between the crate and the ground is \( \mu_c = 0.3 \), determine if the man is able to move the crate using the rope-and-pulley system shown. **Diagram Explanation:** The diagram illustrates a scenario where a man is attempting to pull a crate using a rope-and-pulley system. The setup is as follows: - **Crate (C):** Positioned on the ground with a rope attached. - **Rope:** Connects the crate to a pulley system and extends to the man. - **Pulley on Tree:** The rope runs over a pulley mounted on a tree which redirects the rope. - **Angles:** - The rope between the crate and tree forms a \(30^\circ\) angle with the horizontal. - The rope between the tree and the man makes a \(45^\circ\) angle with the horizontal. - **Man (A):** Pulling on the rope with the intention of moving the crate.
