Set A

This document contains 10 questions related to fluid mechanics: 1. Calculate the density of oil given its mass and volume. 2. Calculate the height of a mountain given the difference in barometer readings between the base and top and assuming a constant air density. 3. Calculate the depth of oil in a tank given the specific gravity of oil and water levels inside and outside the tank. 4. Determine the force required to hold a semi-circular gate in position using fluid mechanics principles.

1. If 6.5 m3 of oil weighs 46,800 N, calculate its density in kg/m3.

2.A mercury barometer at the base of the mountain reads 620 mm. At the same time, another
barometer at the top of a mountain reads 450 mm. Assuming unit weight of air is to be constant at 10
N/m3, what is the appropriate height of the mountain?

3.For the tank shown in the Figure, obtain the depth d in meters of the oil if its specific gravity is
0.84. Given: H1 = 3 m and H2 = 4 m.

4.The semi-circular gate shown in Figure 28 is hinged at B. Determine the force F required to hold the
gate in position.

5.Calculate the magnitude of the total hydrostatic force actin on one side of the 2-m square plate shown
in Figure 13.
6.A sluice gate in the form of an arc of a circle of radius 6 m as shown in the figure. Which of the following
is closest to the vertical component of the hydrostatic force acting on the gate?

7.A wooden block having uniform cross-section will float in water with 2 cm projecting above the water
surface and if placed in oil (𝑠𝑝. 𝑔𝑟. = 0.85) will float with 14 cm projecting above the oil surface.
Determine the total depth of the block.

8.A masonry dam (density=2500 kg/m3) is triangular in cross-section with height of 24 m and base width
of 12 m. The height of water behind the vertical face of the dam is 20 m. Determine the location (measured
from the heel) of the vertical reaction acting at the base of the dam.

9.A water tank 3 m. in diameter and 6 m. high is made from a steel having a thickness of 12 mm.

When the tank is filled with water, determine the circumferential stress.

10.An iceberg having a specific gravity of 0.90 floats in salt water having a specific gravity of 1.03. If the
volume of the ice above the surface is 500 m3, what is the volume of the iceberg in m3
