4. Consider the nozzle whose cross-sectional area at any x location is given as A(x) = A₁(1+e¯ª).Assume a steady one-dimensional flow in x direction of a liquid. Note that as the area of the nozzle decreases, the flow velocity increases such that the volume flow rate Q through the-nozzle is constant.

(a) Will there be any fluid acceleration in the steady flow of a liquid through the nozzle?Why or why not?2 (b) If yes, find the expression for the fluid acceleration as a function of x in terms of the-volumetric flow rate Q, area A₁.
