A ball weighing 1 kg is “floating" on a circular jet, as shown in the figure (ignore the wire, which is there to stabilize the weight). The jet leaving the orifice at the bottom has an upward velocity of 10 m/s, and the jet diameter at the exit is 2 cm. Assuming the jet spills sideways at 90°, find the height h at which the ball will float.

fluıd mechanıcs If an oil tank is pulled uphill on a surface that makes an angle of 162 with the horizontal, the oil makes an angle of 160,a) Show the forces acting on the tank on the figure. Write the balance of force.b) Calculate the constant acceleration of the tank being pulled uphill.
Q4/ A horizontal cylindrical tank shown in Figure 4.13a is used to slow the propagation of liquid flow surges in a processing line. Figure 4.13b illustrates an end view of the tank and w, is the width of the liquid surface, which is a function of its height, both of which can vary with time. Derive the transfer functions that relate the height of liquid in tank (output variable) to the inlet and outlet volumetric flowrates (input variables): H'(s)/Qi'(s) and H'(s)/Q'(s)? Also, draw the transfer function biock diagram model?
Consider a rectangular plate of width B = 1m (measured in the direction normal to the plane of this sheet) and negligible thickness, which separates two fluids of densities ρ and ρw. A mass of density ρs is supported by an inextensible rope that passes through a pulley connected to one end of the plate. Consider that ρ = 1.59ρw and ρs = 2.40ρw, where ρw = 1000 kg/m3. Determine the volume that this mass must have for the system to remain in equilibrium, as shown in the figure.

Shown in the figure below is a small decorative wheel fitted with flat paddles so the wheel turns about its axis when acted upon by a blown stream of air. Assuming that all the air in a 15-mm-diameter stream moving at 0.35 m/s strikes one paddle and is deflected by it at right angles, compute the force exerted on the wheel initially when it is stationary. The air has a density of 1.20 kg/m3 . The paddle is on a horizontal plane.
