An incompressible fluid flows through the converging duct shown in Fig. P4.40a with velocity \(V_{0}\) at the entrance. Measurements indicate that the actual velocity of the fluid near the wall of the duct along streamline \(A-F\) is as shown in Fig. P4.40b. Sketch the component of acceleration along this streamline, \(a\), as a function of \(s\). Discuss the important characteristics of your result.
