A 1-m-diameter sphere is being towed at speed V in fresh water at 20°C as shown in Fig. P8.100. Assuming in viscid theory with an undistorted free surface, estimate the speed V in m/s at which cavitation will first appear on the sphere surface. Where will cavitation appear? For this condition, what will be the pressure at point A on the sphere which is 45° up from the direction of travel?
