Please answer both (a) and (b).

Please answer both (a) and (b). 5. (40 pts) Material derivative (a)

5. (40 pts) Material derivative (a) Consider an observer who measures the density p(1,t) of a flow system at a fixed point x every At time periods, e.g. at times t, t + At, t +2At, etc. Show that the observer measurements determine the time derivative Op/at (b) Consider now an observer who moves with the system velocity u and measures the density p(x, t) every At time periods, e.g. the observer measures the density p at (x, t), then at (x + Art + At), etc. Show that the observer measurements determine the material derivative Dp/Dt
