FLUIDS: Potential Flow Question -- URGENT HELP NEEDED

I need to submit this soon and I am way behind in this topic. I would appreciate it a lot if you can help me out figure the answer.

Homework Statement


In a uniform onset flow of 7 m/s parallel with the x axis, a source of strength 19 m2/s per metre is located at the origin (x=0, y=0) and a sink of equal strength is located at (x=2, y=0). Locate the x-axis position of the most upstream stagnation point.

I think it will be these:

Ugh.. please just help me out on this. It's 5% of the unit. Thanks
 
Physics news on Phys.org
The velocity of the flow from the 19 m2/s source is \frac{19}{2π\sqrt{x^2+y^2}} and is directed radially outward.

The velocity of the flow from the 19 m2/s sink is -\frac{19}{2π\sqrt{(x-2)^2+y^2}}, and is directed radially outward.

According to the problem statement, the stagnation point is along the x-axis (y = 0).

The combined overall velocity along the x-axis is U + ?? + ??. What are the ??'s?
 
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...
