A velocity field is given as V^→ = 2yî + 3xĵ where x and y are in metres. The acceleration of the a fluid particle at (x, y) = (1, 1) in the x direction is

1. 0 m/s²
2. 5.00 m/s²
3. 6.00 m/s²
4. 8.48 m/s²

Correct Option: C

^{^→}V = 2yî + 3xĵ
u = 2y, v = 3x
Acceleration in x direction, a_x

a_x = u.	∂u	+ v.	∂u	+	∂u	= 0
	∂x		∂y		∂t

= 2y (0) + 3x. (2) + 0
= 6x = 6 × (1) = 6 m/s²
