The design speed of the aircraft is 69m/s into still air and at this speed experience allows the engineer to assume a propeller efficiency of 84%.

- 6. A very large thin plate is centered in a gap of width 0.06 m with different oils of unknown viscosities above and below; one viscosity is twice the other. When the plate is pulled at a velocity of 0.3 m/s, the resulting force on one square meter of plate due to the viscous shear on both sides is 29 N.

THANK YOU. Intravenous infusions usually are driven by gravity by hanging the fluid bottle at sufficient height to counteract the blood pressure in the vein and to force the fluid into the body (fig. below). The higher the bottle is raised, the higher the flow rate of the fluid will be. An 8 ft diameter by 16 ft height vertical tank is receiving water (? = 62.5 lb/ft3) at the rate of 295 gal/min and discharging through a 4-in ID line with a constant speed of 6 fps.
