Homework Statement



In a plane onset flow of 4 m/s, a source of strength 13 m2/s per metre is located at the origin (x=0, y=0) and another source of strength 18 m2/s per metre is located at (x=3m, y=0). Calculate the gauge pressure at the point (0, 2m), Take ρ =1.2kg/m3

The Attempt at a Solution



I have attempted to work out the velocities, 13/(2pi*√x^2+y^2) and 18/(2pi*√(x-3)^2+y^2) and θ = 1.249 radians, although am somewhat unsure of how to proceed.

any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks

What is the magnitude of the velocity vector associated with each of the two sources at the point p?

What are the components of these velocity vectors in the x- and y-directions at point p?

What are the components of the velocity vector associated with the flow U at point p?

What are the components of the overall velocity vector at point p?

What are the components of the velocity of the fluid at infinity?

I presume that you need to calculate the gauge pressure as the pressure at point p minus the pressure at infinity.
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
