Consider the vector field
consisting of the velocities of points on a thin horizontal disc of radius
, moving anticlockwise with uniform angular speed
about an axis passing through its center. If
, then which of the following options is(are) CORRECT? (In the options,
and
are unit vectors corresponding to the plane polar coordinates
and
.)You may use the fact that in cylindrical coordinates
(
is the distance from the
-axis), the gradient, divergence, curl and Laplacian operators are:
