Consider a thin ideal vortex segment of uniform strength Γ that lies along the z-axis between z_1 and z_2, and has a sense of rotation that points along the z-axis. Use the BioteSavart law to show that the induced velocity u at the location (R, φ, z) will be \mathbf{u}(\pmb{\chi},t)=(\Gamma / 4 \pi R)\left(\cos \theta_1-\cos \theta_2\right) \mathbf{e} _{\varphi} where the polar angles \theta_1 and \theta_2 are as shown in Figure 5.10.
