The effect of surface tension on the mass of a falling drop is studied. According to Raleigh for non-viscous flow the mass of a drop, ma, is a function of the surface tension, σ, the diameter of the droplet, d, the gravity, g, and the flow density, p. ma = f(d,g,p,σ) Find the relevant dimensionless numbers.

The Ekman number, Ek, arises in geophysical fluid dynamics. It is dimensionless parameter combining seawater density ρ, a characteristic length L, Seawater viscosity μ, and the Coriolis frequency Ωsinφ, where Ω is the rotation rate of the earth and φ is the latitude angle. Determine the correct form of Ek if the viscosity is in the numerator.

A group of students wish to determine, experimentally, the bulk density of an unknown material. To determine this amount, the students measured the diameter, height, and mass of various cylinders. These values appear in the table below. Determine: a) The volume of the cylinders that appears in the following table. b) The graph of mass vs. volume.
Two cylindrical cross section water tanks are arranged so that the outflow from tank 1 falls into tank 2. The outflow from tank 2 flows to the drain. ģ is the volumetric flow rate out of a tank, and h is the height of the water in a tank. (a) State the fundamental physical law, and provide the general equation for a tank used to model the time history of the tank levels, h, and hz. Your equation should contain the following terms: A (eross sectional area of a water tank), p (density of water), and h (rate of change of the height of the water in a tank) (b) Both outflows have the characteristic volumetric flow rate being directly proportional to the head in the tank. ie. ġ1 = a, h, and q2 = azh2. Show that the differential equation governing the head in tank 2 has the form of : h, + ah, = be" Time, t, is the independent variable. Take the initial values of the heads to be A h(0) = H, and h,(0)= H,. Determine a, b and c. (Note: There is no d, or hi in the equation governing tank 2. You…
Consider a water tank that is being filled with rainfall at the top and is drained through a small hole atthe bottom. The change in volume can be modelled by considering the amount of water entering andleaving the tank (per unit of time) as followsdVdt= fin − fout.Here volume of water in the tank V is in litres, flow rate in fin is in litres per hour, flow rate out fout isin litres per hour and time t is in hours. Initially, the tank contains 50L of water: V (0) = 50.(a) Assume the rainfall throughout the day is getting heavier, such that, fin(t) = 10 + t andthat the tank is losing 10% of its volume of water per hour, such that, fout(V ) = 0.1V . Check bydirect substitution that the functionV (t) = 10(t + 5e−0.1t)satisfies the ODE and the initial condition.Now assume that the hole is slowly growing in size, so that the flow rate out increaseswith time:fout(V, t) = 0.1(1 + 0.1t)V.Solve the ordinary differential equation for V (t) with this flow rate out, using either separation…
