ASSINGMENT 1

EMG 2205 Fluid Mech I


Due on 28th Friday Feb. 2025
1. Calculate the dynamic viscosity of an oil, which is used for lubrication between a square
plate of size 0.8 m * 0.8 m and an inclined plane with angle of inclination of 30° as shown.
The weight of the square plate is 300 N and it slides down the inclined plane with a
uniform velocity of 0.3 m/s. the thickness of oil film is 1.5 mm.

2. Calculate the capillary effect in millimeters in a glass tube of 4 mm diameter, when


immersed in a) water b) mercury. The temperature of the liquid is 20°C in contact with air
are 0.073575 N/m and 0.51 N/m respectively. The angle of contact for water is zero that
for mercury is 130°. Take density of water at 20°C as equal to 998 kg/m3.

3. Find out the differential reading ‘h’ of an inverted U-tube manometer containing oil of
specific gravity 0.7 as the manometric fluid when connected across pipes A and B as
shown, conveying liquids of specific gravities 1.2 and 1.0 and immiscible with
manometric fluid. Pipes A and B are located at the same level and assume the pressures at
A and B to be equal.
4. Determine the total pressure and center of pressure on an isosceles triangular plate of base
4 m and altitude 4 m when it is immersed vertically in an oil of sp. gr. 0.9. The base of the
plate coincides with the free surface of oil.
