Situation 2 An object with a shape of a cube with 280mm on each side, and weighing 425N is lowered into a tank containing a layer of water over a layer of mercury. a) Determine the position of the bottom block (height if the block submerged in mercury) above the mercury, when it has reached the equilibrium, in mm.
A closed pressurized tank shown below is filled with oil and mercury. Mercury is confined in an internal reservoir inside the closed tank, the height of mercury is 450mm. An open manometer is placed on the bottom left part of the tank with liquid “X” as its gage liquid , the deflection from the gage liquid shows 800mm. Determine the following:a) Height of the oil from point A up to point c if height A to C is 5 times the height of y. b) Pressure @ point B in kPa. c) Pressure @ point C in psi.
A toy skyrocket consists of a solid conical top, ρi = 600 kg/m3, a hollow cylinder, ρc = 400 kg/m3, and a stick having a circular cross section, ρs = 300 kg/m3. Determine the length of the stick, x, so that the center ofgravity G of the skyrocket is located along line aa.
Pitot PipeBy connecting a mercury pressure gauge to a vertical pipeline through which water is transmitted, speed measurement is performed with a pitot tube. Since the deviation from the pressure gauge column is 15 cm, calculate the speed of the water in the pipe. (Pmercury=13560 kg/m3, Pwater=1000 kg/m3) (Answer is V2=6.08 m/s)
7. Two water tanks are connected to each other through a mercury manometer with inclined tubes, as shown in figure. If the pressure difference between the two tanks is 20 kPa, determine the value of ? in degrees. (2 decimal)
Fluid Mechanics: (a) Convert a pressure head of 4.60 m of water to meters of oil, s.g. 0.750. (b) Convert a pressure head of 24 in of mercury to feet of oil, s.g. 0.750.
A manometer is a device that measures pressure. A common simple manometer consists of a U shaped tube of glass filled with some liquid. Water is first filled into the U-tube until a clear horizontal water surface is visible on both legs of the U-tube. Unequal amounts of kerosene were then dropped into both legs of the U-tube. The height of kerosene in the left leg was measured as 8.3 cm high and 5.2 cm on the right leg. The difference in elevation between the interfaces of kerosene and water measured 2.5 cm. Determine the specific gravity of kerosene.
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.
