Consider a sphere of radius R immersed in a uniform stream Uo, as shown in Fig. P4.7. According to the theory of Chap. 8, the fluid velocity along streamline AB is given by
v = ui = Uo (1+R3/x3) i
Find (a) the position of maximum fluid acceleration along AB and (b) the time required for a fluid particle to travel from A to B.
