[amp_mcq option1=”can be zero” option2=”is never zero” option3=”is always zero” option4=”is independent of coordinates” correct=”option1″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is A. can be zero.<\/p>\n
In steady flow, the velocity of a fluid particle at a given point in space does not change with time. However, the velocity of a fluid particle can change as it moves from one point to another. The total acceleration of a fluid particle is the sum of its local acceleration and its convective acceleration. The local acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity of the fluid particle at a given point in space. The convective acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity of the fluid particle as it moves from one point to another.<\/p>\n
The local acceleration of a fluid particle can be zero if the velocity of the fluid particle is constant at a given point in space. The convective acceleration of a fluid particle can be zero if the velocity of the fluid particle is not changing as it moves from one point to another.<\/p>\n
Therefore, the total acceleration of a fluid particle can be zero if the local acceleration and the convective acceleration are both zero.<\/p>\n
Option B is incorrect because the total acceleration of a fluid particle can be zero. Option C is incorrect because the total acceleration of a fluid particle can be nonzero. Option D is incorrect because the total acceleration of a fluid particle is not independent of coordinates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
