1. Discuss about relative density, viscosity, surface tension, capillarity, Newtonian and non-
Newtonian fluid?
2. Discuss about piezometer tube, U-tube, differential, inclined tube, and multi-fluid
manometer?
3. Determine the total pressure force and center of pressure for vertical plane surface?
4. Discuss about buoyancy and stability?
5. In Fig. P2.31 all fluids are at 20°C. Determine the pressure difference (Pa) between points
A and B.

6. 8-cm-diameter piston compresses manometer oil into an inclined 7-mm-diameter tube, as


shown in Fig.P2.39. When a weight W is added to the top of the piston, the oil
rises an additional distance of 10cm up the tub, as shown. How large is the weight, in N?
7. The tank in Fig. P2.63 has a 4-cm-diameter plug at the bottom on the right. All fluids are
at 20°C. The plug will pop out if the hydrostatic force on it is 25 N. For this condition,
what will be the reading h on the mercury manometer on the left side?

8. Gate AB in Fig. P2.61 is a homogeneous mass of 180 kg, 1.2 m wide into the paper, hinged
at A, and resting on a smooth bottom at B. All fluids are at 20°C. For what water depth h
will the force at point B be zero?

9. The dam in Fig. P2.82 is a quarter circle 50 m wide into the paper. Determine the horizontal
and vertical components of the hydrostatic force against the dam and the point CP where
the resultant strikes the dam.
10. Pressurized water fills the tank in Fig. P2.100. Compute the net hydrostatic force on the
conical surface ABC.

11. When floating in water (SG =1.0), an equilateral triangular body (SG = 0.9) might take one
of the two positions shown in Fig. P2.134. Which is the more stable position? Assume large
width into the paper.
