A thin, circular plate assumed to lie on the xy-plane is rotating about its center, located
at (0, 0), with angular speed ω. (ω > 0 means that the plate is rotating in the counterclockwise direction.) Show that the velocity field of of this plate is given by v(x, y) =...
i get the exactly same question...
i don't know how to solve it either...
have you already got the answer yet?
if you have, could you give me some hint?
