Computation. A river is 57 m wide and you want to swim straight across it. You find that you can do this if you swim at an angle of 0 = 28° from the upstream direction at a constant rate of 1.2 m/s (relative to th water). What is the river's flow speed relative to the ground, Vrg? [Note: Notice carefully that the angle 0 is measured from the river bank so that directly upstream is 0 = 0° and directly across the river is 0 = 90°.]

2.80 The fluid mechanics of the human arterial system is of vital importance to our health and safety. The specific gravity and viscosity of blood are about 1.06 and 3.3 centipoise (cp), respectively. The mean flow speed in the aorta (30 mm i.d.) of a large human is about 0.15 m/sec. Calculate the flow Reynolds number using these properties. Would you expect this flow to be laminar or turbulent?
A ship in seawater (sp. gr. 1.03) with a mass of 8000 metric tons (1 metric ton = 1000 kg) sinks by 11.4185 cm more than its original draft if a cargo of 95500 kg is added to its load. Find the increase in the draft (having the same load) in freshwater. Assume the same horizontal area in the waterline.

The flow that passes through an artery per unit time is given by the following equation V = 3r4, where r is the radius of the artery. If we assume an initial radius of 0.17 centimeters for the artery and considering that there is an increase in the radius of 0.05 centimeters. Use differentials to estimate the approximate change in flux V.

You are working as an assistant to a landscape architect, who is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.88 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.85 m high, and from there it will fall into a pool (see the figure below). (a) The architect has asked you to determine if the space behind the waterfall will be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway. (Enter the maximum width, in meters, of a walkway behind the waterfall.) (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, which is one-twelfth actual size. She asks you to design and build the model, with the important question being: how fast (in m/s) should the water flow in the channel in the model? m/s
