    6 A rigid tank (Fig. P6) of volume V contains air at an absolute pressure of P and temperature
    T. At t=0, air begins escaping from the tank through a valve with a flow area of A1. The air
    passing through the valve has a speed of V1 and a density of 1. Determine an expression
    for the instantaneous rate of change of density in the tank at t=0, assuming it to be
    uniform within the tank.

    7 A plate with frictionless surfaces is oriented inclined to a water jet (Fig. P7). Verlocity is
    uniform and the flow may be approximated as incompressible and inviscid (no viscosity).
    The angle made by the plate with the vertical is . Symbols A and Q in the figure denotes
    flow area and flow rate respectively. Determine:
    a) Q1 and Q2 in terms of Q0 and .
    b) Normal component of force on the plate.
