A Rankine oval is formed by combining a source-sink pair, each having a strength of 36 ft2/s and separated by a distance of 15 ft along the x axis, with a uniform velocity of 12 ft/s (in the positive x direction). Determine the length of the oval.

0.28 ft

Explanation:

We are given that

Strength=m=

Distance between source and sink=15 ft

Distance between the sink of the source and origin= ft

Uniform velocity, U=12 ft/s

We have to find the length of the oval.

Formula to find the half length of the body

Where a=Distance between sink of source and origin

U=Uniform velocity

m=Strength

l=Half length

Using the formula

Length of oval=

a

explanation:

because they are cartillidge
