1. An object shown below weighs 0.981 kN and 270 mm moves down over an inclined plane with a film of oil 6.0 𝜇m
thick. What is the terminal speed of the block? Assume a linear velocity profile in the oil. Oil viscosity is 6 mPa·s
(millipascal second).
10 POINTS
0.981kN

2. A monometer is attached to a pipe to measure pressure. Determine the pressure at point A.


3. Determine the total resultant force acting on a dam (26 m long) and the location of the center of pressure.

4. Derive the equation to determine the manometer reading, h. 15 points

5. A pressure in a pipe is 60 psi above atmospheric. Calculate the value of h. Neglect viscous effects. 10 points
6. A fluid flows through a horizontal 0.1-in.-diameter pipe. When the Reynolds number is 1500, the head loss over
a 20-ft length of the pipe is 6.4 ft. Determine the fluid velocity. 10 points

7. Asphalt at 120 oF , considered to be a Newtonian fluid with a viscosity 80,000 times that of water and a specific
gravity of 1.09, flows through a pipe of diameter 2.0 in. If the pressure gradient is 1.6 psi/ft determine the
flowrate assuming the pipe is (a) horizontal; (b) vertical with flow up. 15 points
Hint: If the flow is laminar,
𝜋(∆𝑝 − 𝛾𝐿 sin 𝜃)𝑑 4
𝑄=
128𝜇𝐿
Where ∆𝑝 is pressure gradient in psi/ft, 𝛾 is specific or unit weight in lb/ft3, 𝐿 is length of pipe in ft, 𝑑 is pipe
diameter in ft, 𝜇 is viscosity in lb-s/ft2, 𝑄 in ft3/s

8. A 0.8-m-diameter pipe made of finished concrete lies on a slope of 0.8 m elevation change per 1000 m
horizontal distance. Determine the flowrate when the pipe is half full. 10 points

9. A broad-crested weir is 1.25 ft high above the bottom of a rectangular channel 10 ft wide. The measured head
above the weir crest is 1.95 ft. Determine the approximate flow in m3/s of the channel. (use c = 0.92). 10 points
