Instruction: Answers with decimals must be corrected to two decimal places.


1. A pressure of 2𝑥106 𝑁/𝑚2 is applied to a mass of water that initially filled a 2000 𝑐𝑚3 volume. If the
bulk modulus for water is 𝐸𝐵 = 2.2 𝐺𝑃𝑎, calculate its volume after the pressure is applied.

2. Calculate the pressure increase that must be applied to water to reduce its volume by 2%.

3. SAE 10W-30 oil with viscosity of 4.79𝑥10−3 𝑁. 𝑠/𝑚2 is used as a lubricant between two parts of a
machine that slide past one another with a velocity difference of 1.83 𝑚/𝑠. What spacing, in cm, is
required if you don’t want a shear stress of more than 95.8 𝑃𝑎?

4. The velocity distribution for water (20℃) near a wall is given by 𝑢 = 𝑎 (𝑏 ) , where 𝑎 = 10 𝑚/𝑠, 𝑏 =
2 𝑚𝑚, and y is the distance from the wall in mm. Determine the shear stress in the water at 𝑦 = 1𝑚𝑚.

5. The sliding plate viscometer shown below is used to measure the viscosity of a fluid. The top plate is
moving to the right with a constant velocity of 10 𝑚/𝑠 in response to a force of 3 N. The bottom plate is
stationary. What is the viscosity of the fluid? Assume a linear velocity distribution.

6. Two plates are separated by a 3.175 𝑐𝑚 space. The lower plate is stationary; the upper plate moves at a
velocity of 7.62 𝑚/𝑠. Oil (SAE 10W-30, 338.7 K), which fills the space between the plates, has the same
velocity as the plates at the surface of contact. The variation in velocity of the oil is linear. What is the
shear stress in the oil?

7. A hydraulic lift of the type commonly used for greasing automobiles consists of a 10.000 𝑖𝑛 dia ram
which slides in a 10.006 𝑖𝑛 dia cylinder, the annular space being filled with oil having a kinematic
viscosity of 0.004 𝑓𝑡 2 /𝑠 and specific gravity of 0.85. if the rate of travel of ram is 0.5 𝑓𝑡/𝑠, find the
frictional resistance when 10 ft of the ram is engaged in the cylinder.
8. In figure below, if the fluid is glycerin at 20℃ and the width between plates is 6mm, what shear stress (in
𝑚

1.5 𝑁. 𝑠/𝑚2 .

9. A block of weight 𝑊 = 100 𝑁 slides down an inclined plane on a thin film of oil, as in the figure below.
The film contact area is 0.06 𝑚2 and its thickness is 2.5𝑥10−5 𝑚. Assuming a linear velocity distribution
in the film, what is the terminal velocity of the block?

10. A space of 1 inch between two large plane surfaces is filled with SAE 30 western lubricating oil at 68℉.
What force is required to drag a very thin plate of 4 𝑓𝑡 2 area between the surfaces at a speed of 20 𝑓𝑡/𝑚𝑖𝑛
if this plate is equally spaced between the two surfaces? If it is at a distance of 0.33 inch from one surface?
Use viscosity of SAE 30 oil, 920 𝑥10−5 𝑙𝑏. 𝑠/𝑓𝑡 2 .
