A compressed air tank is designed to contain 50 standard cubic feet of air when filled to a gaugepressure of 200 atm at an ambient temperature of 70 F. Assume this is an air tank for scubadiving, and that the approximate shape of the tank is a cylinder with circular cross section. The interior volume of the tank is v=0.253 ft^3(a) If the interior length of the cylinder is 1 ft, what would be the inner diameter?(b) It is desired that the air tank be neutrally buoyant when empty. The density of aluminum is2700 kg/m3. If the tank is made of aluminum, what should be the wall thickness in order forit to be neutrally buoyant?
A tripod holding a nozzle, which directs a 5-cmdiameter stream of water from a hose, is shown. The nozzle mass is 10 kg when filled with water. The tripod is rated to provide 1800 N of holding force. A firefighter was standing 60 cm behind the nozzle and was hit by the nozzle when the tripod suddenly failed and released the nozzle. You have been hired as an accident reconstructionist and, after testing the tripod, have determined that as water flow rate increased, it did collapse at 1800 N. In your final report you must state the water velocity and the flow rate consistent with the failure and the nozzle velocity when it hit the firefighter. For simplicity, ignore pressure and momentum effects in the upstream portion of the hose
A belt moves upward at velocity V, dragging a fi lm ofviscous liquid of thickness h , as in Fig. . Near the belt,the fi lm moves upward due to no slip. At its outer edge, thefi lm moves downward due to gravity. Assuming thatthe only nonzero velocity is υ ( x ), with zero shear stress atthe outer fi lm edge, derive a formula for ( a ) υ ( x ), ( b ) the average velocity V avg in the fi lm, and ( c ) the velocity V c forwhich there is no net flow either up or down.

A pitot-static probe will be used to measure the velocitydistribution in a water tunnel at 20°C. The two pressurelines from the probe will be connected to a U-tube manometerthat uses a liquid of specifi c gravity 1.7. The maximumvelocity expected in the water tunnel is 2.3 m/s.
