A property owner on a lake is given an aluminum dock for his property. Unfortunately the dock
is too large and heavy to move over land. Instead the owner has this idea (which his family
thinks is insane) to move the dock by water. The dock is 20 ft long, 3ft wide, and weighs 350 lbs.
The owner decides to float the dock using 50 gallon plastic drums filled with air.
a) (5 points) How many 50 gallon drums are required to float the dock?
b) (3 points) How many would you recommend the home owner actually use and in what
configuration? Why?
A large water tank is being filled from a water source as shown in the figure below with a

a) (2 Points) Is the flow laminar or turbulent?
b) (6 points) What are the major losses in the pipe?
c) (3 Points) How much power (in Watts) does the pump need to be to fill the tank?
d) (2 Points) If the pump is 93% efficient, how much power must be supplied to the pump?
e) (2 Points) If we considered minor losses, would it take more time, less time or the same
amount of time to fill the tank? Explain why (in words, no math)
Water at 50°C flows steadily through a tank shown in the figure below. At section 1, D₁ = 45 cm,
and the volume flow is 25 m³/h. At section 2, D₂ =15 cm and the average velocity is 6.14 m/s. If
D3 = 700mm, what is:
a) (4 points) the mass flow rate through section 3 in kg/min?
b) (2 points) the average velocity through section 3 in m/s?
c) (3 points) Is the flow in or out of the tank at section 3?

Air enters with a volumetric flow rate of 50 m³/min at 32°C, 1 bar, and exits at 22°C, 0.95 bar. Refrigerant enters the tubes at 5 bar with a quality of 20% and exits at 5 bar, 20°C.

- As indicated by the derivation, the principle of work and energy is valid for observers in any inertial reference frame. Show that this is so, by considering the 10-kg block which rests on the smooth surface and is subjected to a horizontal force of 6 N. If observer A is in a fixed frame x, determine the final speed of the block if it has an initial speed of 5 m/s and travels 10 m, both directed to the right and measured from the fixed frame. Compare the result with that obtained by an observer B, attached to the x' axis and moving at a constant velocity of 2 m/s relative to A. Hint: The distance the block travels will first have to be computed for observer B before applying the principle of work and energy.
