A retaining wall against a mud slide is to be constructed by placing 1.2-m-high and 0.25-m- wide rectangular concrete blocks (p = 2700 kg/m3 ) side by side, as shown. The friction coefficient between the ground and the concrete blocks is f=0.4, and the density of the mud is about 1400 kg/m3 . There is concern that the concrete blocks may slide or tip over the lower left edge as the mud level rises. Determine the mud height at which (a) the blocks will overcome friction and start sliding and (b) the blocks will tip over. 0.25 m

The drinking water needs of an office are met by large water bottles. One end of a 0.6-cm diameter plastic hose is inserted into the bottle placed on a high stand, while the other end with an on/off valve is placed 0.6 m below the bottom of the bottle. If the water level in the bottle is 0.45 m when it is full, determine how long it will take at the minimum to fill a 0.25-L glass when the bottle is first opened. Neglect frictional and valve losses.
An 80-percent-efficient pump with a power input of 20 hp is pumping water from a lake to a nearby pool at a rate of 1.5 ft3 /s through a constant-diameter pipe. The free surface of the pool is 80 ft above that of the lake. Determine the mechanical power used to overcome frictional effects in piping.
A U-tube open at both ends is partially filled with water. Oil having a density of 750 kg/m3 is then poured into the right arm and forms a column L = 10.00 cm high. The density of air is 1.29 kg/m3.The right arm is then shielded from any air motion while air is blown across the top of the left arm until the surfaces of the two liquids are at the same height. (d) Determine the pressure difference between the water and oil columns(e) Determine the speed of the air being blown across the left arm.
The drinking water needs of an office are met by large water bottles. One end of a 0.35-in-diameter, 6-ft-long plastic hose is inserted into the bottle placed on a high stand, while the other end with an on/off valve is maintained 3 ft below the bottom of the bottle. If the water level in the bottle is 1 ft when it is full, determine how long it would take to fill an 8-oz glass (= 0.00835 ft3) (a) when the bottle is first opened and (b) when the bottle is almost empty. Take the total minor loss coefficient, including the on/off valve, to be 2.8 when it is fully open. Assume the water temperature to be the same as the room temperature of 70°F.

Advertisement signs are commonly carried by taxicabs for additional income, but they also increase the fuel cost. Consider a sign that consists of a 0.30-m-high, 0.9-m-wide, and 0.9-m-long rectangular block mounted on top of a taxicab such that the sign has a frontal area of 0.3 m by 0.9 m from all four sides. Determine the increase in the annual fuel cost of this taxicab due to this sign. Assume the taxicab is driven 60,000 km a year at an average speed of 50 km/h and the overall efficiency of the drive train is 28 percent. Take the density, unit price, and heating value of gasoline to be 0.72 kg/L, $1.10/L, and 42,000 kJ/kg, respectively, and the density of air to be 1.25 kg/m3.

Underground water is pumped through a 10-cm- diameter pipe that consists of a 2-m-long vertical and 1-m-long horizontal section. Water discharges to atmospheric air at an average velocity of 3 m/s, and the mass of the horizontal pipe section when filled with water is 12 kg per meter length. The pipe is anchored on the ground by a concrete base. Determine the bending moment acting at the base of the pipe (point A) and the required length of the horizontal section that would make the moment at point A zero.
Electric power is to be generated by installing a hydraulic turbine-generator at a site 70m below the free surface of a large water reservoir that can supply water at a rate of 1500kg/s steadily. If the mechanical power output of the turbine is 800kW and the electric power generation is 750kW, determine the turbine efficiency and the combined turbine-generator efficiency of this plant. Neglect losses in the pipes.
