Mechanical properties of fluids

1.State Pascal’s law of fluid pressure. With a suitable diagram, explain how is
Pascal’s law applied in a hydraulic lift.

2. State Stokes’ law. Deduce this law by the method of dimensions.

3.(a) Explain how does a body attain a terminal velocity when it is dropped
from rest in a viscous medium.

(b) Define terminal velocity. Derive an expression for it.

(C) Why air bubbles in a medium move in upward direction?

4. Define streamline. Why two streamlines cannot cross each other?

5. State and prove Bernoulli’s theorem and write its two applications.

6. Derive an expression for the excess pressure inside a liquid drop.

7.Derive an expression for the excess pressure inside a soap bubble.

8.What is capillarity ? Derive an expression for the height to which the


liquid rises in a capillary tube of radius r.

9. State and Derive equation of continuity.

10. A horizontal pipe line carries water in a streamline flow. At a point along
the pipe where the cross sectional area is 10 cm 2 , the water velocity is 1ms
−1
and the pressure is 2000Pa. What is the pressure at another point where
the cross-sectional area is 5cm2 ?

11. Explain why

(a) The angle of contact of mercury with glass is obtuse, while that of water
with glass is acute.

(b) Water on a clean glass surface tends to spread out, while mercury on the
same surface tends to form drops. (Put differently, water wets glass while
mercury does not.)

(c ) Surface tension of a liquid is independent of the area of the surface.

(d) Water with detergent dissolved in it should have small angles of contact.

(e ) A drop of liquid under no external forces is always spherical in shape.


12. A hydraulic automobile lift is designed to lift cars with a maximum mass of 3000 kg.
The area of the cross-section of the piston carrying the load is 425 cm 2. What maximum
pressure would the smaller piston have to bear?

13. What is the pressure inside the drop of mercury of radius 3.00 mm at
room temperature? The surface tension of mercury at that temperature (20
°C) is 4.65 × 10–1 N m–1. The atmospheric pressure is 1.01 × 105 Pa. Also, give
the excess pressure inside the drop.

14. What is the pressure on a swimmer 10 metre below the surface of a lake?

15. A needle of length 4 cm rest on the surface of water without wetting. If


surface tension of water is 7 x 10-2 N/m. What is the weight of the needle?

16. Two Mercury drops one of radius o1mm and other of radius 2mm
coalesce to form a single drop. Find the energy released if the surface
tension of the Mercury is 5.44 x 10-1 N/m.

17. Derive ascent formula for the rise of a liquid in capillary tube and discuss
the result obtained.

18. A liquid has surface tension of 0.064N/m at a given temperature. If the


liquid resist to 6 mm above the liquid surface in the capillary tube diameter 3
mm, calculate the angle of contact. Density of liquid is 900 kg /m 3.

19. A hose placed on the ground has water emerging out with a speed of 6.0
m/s. When the hose is lifted so that it's nozzle is at a height 1.5m above the
ground,with what speed will the water emerge out?

20. Speed of water is found to increase from 1.96 m/s to 25.5 m/s in flowing
from one end of a pipe to the nozzle. If the absolute pressure of the nozzle is
1.013 x 105 Pascal, Find the pressure at the end of pipe.
