While out on your boat you spot a spherical vessel (10 ft diameter) on the bottom of the ocean. The sphere is too heavy/large to bring into your small boat (length=2.5 m, width=1.5 m and height=1 m), so you decide to tow it in. Your boat has a 20 hp motor. Assuming you operate your boat at maximum power, how long does it take to tow the object back to shore (distance 2 miles) if your boat has a coefficient of drag Cp=0.4. 1 Assume that the stress on the bottom of the boat can be ignored and recall that for turbulent flow for a sphere Cp=0.44. The wind is luckily not blowing that day. The air is at 1 atm and 15°C and water at 25°C. 20 hp

A flat plate of area 2.5 x106 mm² is pulled with a speed of 0.6m/s relative to another plate located at a distance 0.15 mm from it. Find the force and power required to maintain this speed, if the fluid separating them is having viscosity as 0.2 Ns/m².
The blade shown in the figure below is 1 ft wide and is intended to skim oil (SG = 0.9) floating on water with the resulting stream to be caught in a holding tank to clean-up an oil spill. If the skimmer is set to skim off a 9-in. layer of fluid, and all of the fluid skimmed is oil, how much power (hp) must be provided to drive the skimmer at a speed of 9 ft/s? 60% i ! hp Power =
