Part 1 The storage tank contains lubricating oil of specific gravity 0.86 In one inclined side of the tank, there is a 0.48 m diameter circular inspection door, mounted on a horizontal shaft along the centre line of the gate. The oil level in the tank rests 8.8 m above the mounted shaft. (Please refer table 01 for relevant SG, D and h values). Describe the hydrostatic force and centre of pressure with the aid of a free body diagram of the inspection door. Calculate the magnitude of the hydrostatic force and locate the centre of pressure. 45° Estimate the moment that would have to be applied to the shaft to open the gate. Stop B If the oil level raised by 2 m from the current level, calculate the new moment required to open the gate. Figure 01

Many figures in the text show streamlines. Explain why fluid velocity is greatest where streamlines are closest together. (Hint: Consider the relationship between fluid velocity and the cross-sectional area through which it flows.)
In an immersion measurement of a woman's density, she is found to have a mass of 62.0 kg in air and an apparent mass of 0.0850 kg when completely submerged with lungs empty. (a) What mass of water does she displace? (b) What is her volume? (c) Calculate her density. (d) If her lung capacity is 1.75 L is she able to float without treading water with her lungs filled with air?
(a) The pressure inside an alveolus with a 2.00104 -m radius is 1.40103 Pa, due to its fluid-lined walls. Assuming the alveolus acts like a spherical bubble, what is the surface tension of the fluid? (b) Identify the likely fluid. (You may need to extrapolate between values in Table 11.3.)
(a) Calculate the buoyant force on a 2.00-L helium balloon. (b) Given the mass of the rubber in the balloon is 1.50 g, what is the net vertical force on the balloon if it is let go? You can neglect the volume of the rubber.
Concrete is pumped from a cement mixer to the place it is being laid, instead of being carried in wheelbarrows. The flow rate is 200.0 L/min through a 50.0-m-long, 8.00-cm-diameter hose, and the pressure at the pump is 8.00106 N/m2. (a) Calculate the resistance of the hose. (b) What is the viscosity of the concrete, assuming the flow is laminar? (c) How much power is being supplied, assuming the point of use is at the same level as the pump? You may neglect the power supplied to increase the concrete's velocity.

(a) As blood passes through the capillary bed in an organ, the capillaries join to form venules (small veins). If the blood speed increases by a factor of 4.00 and the total cross-sectional area of the venules is 10.0 cm2, what is the total cross-sectional area of the capillaries feeding these venules? (b) How many capillaries are involved if their average diameter is 10.0 m?
