This document contains 6 practice problems related to fluid mechanics. Problem 1 asks to calculate various properties of oil given its mass and volume. Problem 2 asks to determine the dimensions of products involving force, volume, pressure, mass, area, and force divided by velocity. Problem 3 asks to determine the ratio of shear stresses between two fluid layers moving at different velocities. Problem 4 asks to determine the magnitude and direction of shear stress on a plate given fluid properties and velocity profile. Problem 5 asks to determine the bulk modulus of elasticity of a liquid given a change in pressure and volume. Problem 6 asks to calculate density, specific weight, and specific volume of air given pressure and temperature values.

Tutorial 1: Basic Properties of Fluids


1) If 6m3 of oil has a mass of 4900 kg, calculate its weight, density, specific weight,
specific gravity and specific volume.
2) Determine the dimensions, in both the FLT system and MLT system, for (a) the
product of force times volume, (b) the product of pressure times mass divided by
area, and (c) moment of a force divided by velocity.
3) Two layers of fluid be dragged along by the motion of an upper plate as shown in Figure
1 below. The bottom plate is stationary. The top fluid puts a shear stress on the upper
plate, and the lower fluid puts a shear stress on the bottom plate. Determine the ratio of
these two shear stresses.

Figure 1.

4) A Newtonian fluid having a specific gravity of 0.92 and kinematic viscocity of 4 x 10-4
m2/s flows past a fixed surface. Due to non-slip condition, the velocity at the fixed
surface is zero and the velocity profile near the surface is as shown in the Figure 2 below.
Determine the magnitude and direction of the shearing stress developed on the plate.
Express your answer in terms of U and , with U and expressed in units of meters per
second and meters, respectively.

5) The pressure on a fixed mass of liquid is increased from 800 kPa to 1400 kPa,
resulting in a volume reduction of 1.2%. Determine the bulk modulus of elasticity
of the liquid.
6) Calculate the density, specific weight and specific volume of air when its absolute
pressure and temperature are respectively 140 kPa and 50oC (assume R = 287
J/kgK).
