SOAL-SOAL TUTORIAL KE-1 MEKANIKA FLUIDA-1 (MS2231)

1. A closed cylindrical tank filled with water has a hemispherical dome and is connected to an
inverted piping system as shown in Fig. P2.29. The liquid in the top part of the piping system has a
specific gravity of 0.8, and the remaining parts of the system are filled with water. If the pressure
gage reading at A is 60 kPa, determine: (a) the pressure in pipe B, and (b) the pressure head, in
millimeters of mercury, at the top of the dome (point C).

2. Determine the new differential reading along the inclined leg of the mercury manometer of Fig.
P2.45, if the pressure in pipe A is decreased 10 kPa and the pressure in pipe B remains unchanged.
The fluid in A has a specific gravity of 0.9 and the fluid in B is water.

3. A piston having a cross-sectional area of 0.07 m2 is located in a cylinder containing water as


shown in Fig. P2.52. An open U-tube manometer is connected to the cylinder as shown. For h1 =
60 mm and h = 100 mm, what is the value of the applied force, P, acting on the piston? The weight
of the piston is negligible.
4. A thin 4-ft-wide, right-angle gate with negligible mass is free to pivot about a frictionless hinge at
point O, as shown in Fig. P2.73. The horizontal portion of the gate covers a 1-ft-diameter drain
pipe which contains air at atmospheric pressure. Determine the minimum water depth, h, at which
the gate will pivot to allow water to flow into the pipe.

5. The 18-ft-long gate of Fig. P2.84 is a quarter circle and is hinged at H. Determine the horizontal
force, P, required to hold the gate in place. Neglect friction at the hinge and the weight of the gate.

6. The homogeneous gate shown in Fig. P2.88 consists of one quarter of a circular cylinder and is
used to maintain a water depth of 4 m. That is, when the water depth exceeds 4 m, the gate opens
slightly and lets the water flow under it. Determine the weight of the gate per meter of length.
