Explanation Given information: The flow is steady, three-dimensional and incompressible. Write the expression for the velocity field. V → = ( a x z 2 − b y ) i → + c x y z j → + ( d z 3 + e x z 2 ) k → ....... (I) Here, unit vector along x direction is i → , unit vector along y direction is j → and unit vector along y direction is k → , constants are a , b , c , d and e and position coordinates are z , y and z . Write the expression for the continuity equation. ∂ u ∂ x + ∂ v ∂ y + ∂ w ∂ z = 0 ...... (II) Here, velocity components are u , v and w in x , y and z -direction. Calculation: Substitute ( a x z 2 − b y ) for u , c x y z for v and ( d z 3 + e x z 2 ) for w in Equation (II). ∂ ( a x z 2 − b y ) ∂ x + ∂ ( c x y z ) ∂ y + ∂ ( d z 3 + e x z 2 ) ∂ z = 0 ∂ ∂ x ( a x z 2 − b y ) + ∂ ∂ y ( c x y z ) + ∂ ∂ z ( d z 3 + e x z 2 ) = 0 a z 2 − 0 + c x z + 3 d z 2 + 2 e x z = 0 a z 2 + c x z + 3 d z 2 + 2 e x z = 0 ...... (III) Equate similar terms in Equation (III). a = − 3 d c = − 2 e ...... (IV) The each component of velocity field in Equation (I) must be dimensionally homogenous and should have dimensions of velocity. Write dimensions of velocity u -component, u = ( a x z 2 − b y ) ( L t ) = ( a ( L 3 ) − b ( L ) )

Question 1: Beam Analysis Two beams (ABC and CD) are connected using a pin immediately to the left of Point C. The pin acts as a moment release, i.e. no moments are transferred through this pinned connection. Shear forces can be transferred through the pinned connection. Beam ABC has a pinned support at point A and a roller support at Point C. Beam CD has a roller support at Point D. A concentrated load, P, is applied to the mid span of beam CD, and acts at an angle as shown below. Two concentrated moments, MB and Mc act in the directions shown at Point B and Point C respectively. The magnitude of these moments is PL. Moment Release A B с ° MB = PL Mc= = PL -L/2- -L/2- → P D Figure 1: Two beam arrangement for question 1. To analyse this structure, you will: a) Construct the free body diagrams for the structure shown above. When constructing your FBD's you must make section cuts at point B and C. You can represent the structure as three separate beams. Following this, construct the…

A cantilevered rectangular prismatic beam has three loads applied. 10,000N in the positive x direction, 500N in the positive z direction and 750 in the negative y direction. You have been tasked with analysing the stresses at three points on the beam, a, b and c. 32mm 60mm 24mm 180mm 15mm 15mm 40mm 750N 16mm 500N x 10,000N Figure 2: Idealisation of the structure and the applied loading (right). Photograph of the new product (left). Picture sourced from amazon.com.au. To assess the design, you will: a) Determine state of stress at all points (a, b and c). These points are located on the exterior surface of the beam. Point a is located along the centreline of the beam, point b is 15mm from the centreline and point c is located on the edge of the beam. When calculating the stresses you must consider the stresses due to bending and transverse shear. Present your results in a table and ensure that your sign convention is clearly shown (and applied consistently!) (3%) b) You have identified…

7.82 Water flows from the reservoir on the left to the reservoir on the right at a rate of 16 cfs. The formula for the head losses in the pipes is h₁ = 0.02(L/D)(V²/2g). What elevation in the left reservoir is required to produce this flow? Also carefully sketch the HGL and the EGL for the system. Note: Assume the head-loss formula can be used for the smaller pipe as well as for the larger pipe. Assume α = 1.0 at all locations. Elevation = ? 200 ft 300 ft D₁ = 1.128 ft D2=1.596 ft 12 2012 Problem 7.82 Elevation = 110 ft
