Obtain expressions for the acceleration of a fluid particle moving along the stagnation streamline (θ = π) and for the acceleration along the cylinder surface (r = R). Plot ar as a function of r = R for θ = π, and as a function of θ for r = R; plot aθ as a function of θ for r = R. Comment on the plots. Determine the locations at which these accelerations reach maximum and minimum values.
