Consider the velocity field = A(x4 - 6x2y2 + y4) + A(4xy3 - 4x3y) in the xy plane, where A = 0.34 m-3 · s-1, and the coordinates are measured in meters. (a) Is this a possible incompressible flow field? (b) Calculate the x-component and (c) y-component of the acceleration of a fluid particle at point (x,y) = (4, 1).
