Procedure and result carry 40% and 60% of the total mark respectively.
You will be penalized for every error in units with -0.2 points.

1. An incompressible fluid with density 𝜌 flows steadily past the object shown below.
The fluid velocity along the horizontal dividing streamline (−∞ ≤ x ≤ −a) is found to
be V = V0 (1 + a⁄x), where a is the radius of curvature of the front of the object and
V0 is the upstream velocity. For this exercise, you are required to find a) The
pressure gradient along the streamline. b) if the upstream pressure is p0 , integrate
the pressure gradient to obtain the pressure p(𝑥) for − ∞ ≤ x ≤ −. c) Shown from
the result of part b that the pressure at the stagnation point (x = −a) is p0 + ρ v02 ⁄2,
as expected from the Bernoulli equation.
