Question

1  Proof that a solid aluminum block of 4 mm x 3 mm x 3 mm, such as shown in Figure
Q1 (a), can float on water at 20 °C due to the effect of surface tension. The density of
the aluminum block is 2700 kg/m3
. Determine the contact angle.

2. A solid alloy cylinder having a diameter of 6.48 cm slides downward at a terminal
velocity of V through a vertical pipe. The downward motion is resisted by an oil film
between the piston and the pipe wall. Determine the oil viscosity when the velocity
V is 5 m/s. The inner diameter of the vertical pipe is 6.5 cm, and the alloy density is
3500 kg/m3
