    This document contains 11 fluid mechanics problems related to fluid pressure and flow in tanks and containers. Problem 1 asks about determining the deceleration of a truck that applies its brakes, causing the water level in an open tank it is towing to rise. Problem 2 asks about the pressure at the bottom of a fish tank in an elevator moving up and down. Problem 3 asks about the allowable initial water height in a cylindrical tank being transported with a maximum acceleration of 4 m/s^2.

    Fluid mechanics (1), sheet (4)

    1-An 8-ft-long tank open to the atmosphere initially contains 3-ft-


    high water. While being towed by a truck on a level road, the truck
    applies on the brakes and the water level at the front rises 0.5 ft
    above the initial level. Determine the deceleration of the truck.

    2-A fish tank that contains 40-cm-high water is moved in the cabin
    of an elevator. Determine the pressure at the bottom of the tank
    when the elevator is (a) stationary, (b) moving up with an upward
    acceleration of 3 m/s2, and (c) moving down with a downward
    acceleration of 3 m/s2.

    3-A 60-cm-high, 40-cm-diameter cylindrical water tank is being


    transported on a level road. The highest acceleration anticipated is
    4 m/s2. Determine the allowable initial water height in the tank if
    no water is to spill out during acceleration and the pressure along
    the bottom of the tank.

    4- A tank 3m height contain oil (s.g = 0.8) its surface below the
    upper edge of the tank by 1m. If the length of the tank is 8m,
    calculate the maximum horizontal acceleration to pulley the tank
    without spill the oil from the tank and the pressure along the
    bottom of the tank.

    5- An open circular tank of 1m and 0.3 m diameter contains 588.6


    N of water. If the cylinder is rotated about its axis, what is the
    maximum angular velocity so that no water spills? Find the
    difference in total pressure (i) at the bottom of the cylinder (ii) at
    the side of the cylinder due to rotation.
    6- A circular cylinder containing liquid of S.G.1.2 is rotated about
    a vertical axis. The pressure at a point 60 cm radially from the axis
    is the same as at another point 1.2 m from the axis and at an
    elevation 60 cm higher. Determine the speed of rotation of the
    cylinder.

    7- A vertical cylindrical tank 2m and 1m in diameter is filled with


    water to depth of 1.7 m. the tank is then closed and the pressure in
    the space above the water raised to 6.86 kN/m2. Determine the
    pressure at the corner of the tank bottom when the tank is rotated
    about vertical axis of the tank at 150 rpm.

    8- If a cylinder is 8 cm in diameter and 10 cm deep and is exactly


    half full of water, find the speed of rotation(r.p.m.) at which water
    will just begin to spill over the top edge.

    9- Will a beam of S = 0.65 and length 1500 mm long with a cross


    section 136 mm wide and 96 mm height float in stable equilibrium
    in water with two sides horizontal?

    10- A floating body 100 m wide and 150 m long has a gross weight
    of 60,000 ton. Its center of gravity is 0.5 m above the water
    surface. Find the metacentric height and the restoring couple when
    the body is given a tilt as shown 0.6 m.

    11- A cylindrical buoy is 5 feet diameter and 6 feet high. It weighs


    1500 Ib and its C.G. is 2.5 feet above the base and is on the axis.
    Show that the buoy will not float with its axis vertical in sea water.
    If one end of a vertical chain is fastened to the Centre of the base,
    find the tension in the chain in order that the buoy may just float
    with its axis vertical.
