A number of common substances are
Some of these materials exhibit characteristics of both solid and fluid behavior under different conditions. Explain and give examples.
Identify the materials that exhibit the characteristics of both solid and fluid under different condition.
Explanation of Solution
Wax, Tar and Jello have the characteristics of solid at room temperature and below at ordinary pressure. However, they exhibit fluid characteristics at high pressure over long periods. They liquefy and exist as viscous fluids at high temperature.
Silly putty and modelling clay exhibit fluid behavior when they are slowly sheared. But sudden application of stress leads to fracture, which is a characteristic of a solid.
Shaving cream and toothpaste behaves like a solid when at rest in the tube. But when they are squeezed, they flow out of the tube like a fluid.
Similarly, sand behaves as solid when at rest and flows down when placed on an incline.

- Discuss how you might measure the bulk modulus of a liquid.arrow_forwardA thin plate moves between two parallel, horizontal, stationary flat surfaces at a constant velocity of 5 m/s. The two stationary surfaces are spaced 4 cm apart, and the medium between them is filled with oil whose viscosity is 0.9 N⋅s/m2. The part of the plate immersed in oil at any given time is 2-m long and 0.5-m wide. If the plate moves through the mid-plane between the surfaces, determine the force required to maintain this motion. What would your response be if the plate was 1 cm from the bottom surface (h2) and 3 cm from the top surface (h1)?arrow_forwardExplain the differences between Newtonian and Non-Newtonian fluid.arrow_forward
- Over what range of temperature (in Kelvin) do you think it is reasonable to assume that the specific heat of air at constant pressure is constant for purposes of calculations in fluid mechanics? Justify your answerarrow_forwarda. What is the type of the two liquids?b. Explain how the shear force applied to each liquid affects its viscosity.c. Which liquid has higher apparent viscosity? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardThe space between two large flat and parallel walls 25 mm apart is filled with a liquid of dynamic viscosity 0.7 Pa s. Within this space a thin flat plate 250 mm x 250 mm is towed at a velocity of 150 mm/s at a distance of 6 mm from one wall, the plate and its movement being parallel to the walls. Assuming linear variations of velocity between the plate and the walls, determine the force exerted by the fluid on the plate.arrow_forward

The area of the plates is 100+- 0,01 cm². The bottom plate is stationary, and the top plate moves at a velocity of 1 cm/s when a force of 315+- 25 dynes is applied to it, and at 5 cm/s when a force of 1650+- 25 dynes is applied.

(c) What is the range of uncertainty for your answer in item (a).arrow_forwardA cylinder of 125mm radius rotates concentrically inside a fixed cylinder of 130mm radius. Both cylinders are 300mm long. Determine the viscosity (in Pa-s) of the liquid which fills the space between the cylinders if a torque of 0.88 N-m is required to maintain an angular velocity of 2n radians/sec.arrow_forward

The two stationary surfaces are spaced 6 cm apart, and the middle is filled with oil of viscosity of 0.9 Ns/m2.The moving plate submerged in oil has a length of 2 m and a width of 0.5 m. (i) If the plate moves through the mid-plane between the surfaces, determine the force required to maintain this motion. (ii) Determine the force if the plate was 1 cm from the bottom surface and 2 cm from the top surface?arrow_forwardA rectangular plate of length 15 cm and width 10 cm rests on a layer of liquid of thickness 0.8 mm. If the coefficient of viscosity of the fluid is 1600 cP, calculate the force that must be applied to the plate in the horizontal direction so that the plane moves with a velocity of 20 cm/s.arrow_forwardTwo concentric cylinders are rotating in opposite directions but the same speed, 25 revolutions per minute. The outer cylinder, 11cm in diameter, is turning counterclockwise and the inner cylinder, 10 cm in diameter, is turning clockwise. The gap between the cylinders is filled with a liquid. The liquid is a Newtonian fluid with a viscosity of 0.1 kg/m.s. Both cylinders are 50 cm long. Assuming linear distribution of velocity in the gap, Sketch the velocity profile inside the liquid in the gap At what radial distance from the center of the cylinders the liquid velocity becomes zero?
