Fluid Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications
- The answer of questionarrow_forwardA horizontal cylinder of air with length 1 ft and cross-sectional area 2 ft2 is accelerated by a large fan blade in contact with one of the cylinder’s horizontal surfaces. Assume atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi. Determine the cylinder horizontal acceleration in feet/s2. The force of the blade on the cylinder is 4,234 pounds. For the air density, use the value 2.38 E - 3.arrow_forwardA flotation device is in the shape of a right cylinder, with a height of 0.500m and a face area of 4.00m2 on top and bottom, and its density is 0.400 times that of fresh water. It is initially held fully submerged in fresh water, with its top face at the water surface.Then it is allowed to ascend gradually until it begins to float. How much work does the buoyant force do on the device during the ascent?arrow_forward
- A skydiver skydives from the 700 hPa level. It's a warm, dry autumn day with a surface temperature of 77° F and an atmosphere in hydrostatic balance. What height did I jump from? Assume the density at the surface and in the layer is 1.2 kg m-3. Gravity is 9.81 m s-2 and the gas constant for dry air is 287 J kg1 K-1. Also, the atmosphere can be treated as an ideal gas.arrow_forwardUnder what conditions can a moving body of fluid be treated as a rigid body?arrow_forwardThe thin ( 3 mm ) thick plastic panel shown in the figure is lowered from a ship to a construction site on the ocean floor. The plastic panel weighs ( 200 N ) in air and is lowered at a rate of ( 2 m/s ). Assuming the panel remains vertically oriented, calculate the tension force in the cable. Take ( ρ = 1000 kg/m3, ν = 1.31 * 10-6 m2/s ), and use; CDlam = 1.328 / ReL 1/2 CDturb = 0.072 / ReL 1/5 .arrow_forward
- During major windstorms, high vehicles such as RVs and semis may be thrown off the road and boxcars off their tracks, especially when they are empty and in open areas. Consider a 6000-kg semi that is 10 m long, 2.5 m high, and 2 m wide. The distance between the bottom of the truck and the road is 0.8 m. Now the truck is exposed to winds from its side surface. Determine the wind velocity that will tip the truck over to its side. Take the air density to be 1.1 kg/m3 and assume the weight to be uniformly distributed.arrow_forward5-14 For water flowing over a flat plate at 15°C and 3 m/s, calculate the mass flow through the boundary layer at a distance of 5 cm from the leading edge of the plate.arrow_forwardHere, superheated steam is acting on a blade. What are the force components of the superheated steam if the blade is stationary and if the blade moves left at 120 m/s?arrow_forward
- A 4-m-long quarter-circular gate of radius 4 m and of negligible weight is hinged about its upper edge A, as shown in the figure. The gate controls the flow of water over the ledge at B, where the gate is pressed by a spring. Determine the minimum spring force (in N) required to keep the gate closed when the water level rises to A at the upper edge of the gate.arrow_forwardConsider a cubical water tank with a side length of 3 m. The tank is half filled with water, and is open to the atmosphere. Now, a truck carrying this tank is accelerated at a rate of 5 m/s2. The maximum vertical rise of free surface of the water is (a) 1.5 m (b) 1.03 m (c) 1.34 m (d) 0.681 m (e) 0.765 marrow_forwardTo get up on the roof, a person (mass 85.0 kg) places a 6.20 m aluminum ladder (mass 15.0 kg) against the house on a concrete pad with the base of the ladder 2.00 m from the house. The top of the ladder rests against a plastic rain gutter, which we can assume to be frictionless. The center of mass of the ladder is 2.00 m from the base, as measured along the ladder. The person is standing on the ladder 3.00 m from the base, as measured along the ladder. Find the normal reaction and friction forces (in N) on the ladder at its base. (Enter the magnitudes.)arrow_forward
