Question: Air flows steadily through a variable area pipe with a velocity of (mathbf{V}=u(x) hat{mathbf{i}} mathrm{ft} / mathrm{s}), where the approximate measured values of (u(x)) are
Air flows steadily through a variable area pipe with a velocity of \(\mathbf{V}=u(x) \hat{\mathbf{i}} \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}\), where the approximate measured values of \(u(x)\) are given in the table. Plot the acceleration as a function of \(x\) for \(0 \leq x \leq 12\) in. Plot the acceleration if the flowrate is increased by a factor of \(N\) (i.e., the values of \(u\) are increased by a factor of \(N\) ) for \(N=2,4,10\).
