Three steel balls (each about half an inch in diameter) lie at the bottom of a plastic shell floating on the water surface in a partially filled bucket. Someone removes the steel balls from the shell and carefully lets them fall to the bottom of the bucket, leaving the plastic shell to float empty. What happens to the water level in the bucket? Does it rise, go down, or remain unchanged? Explain.

- 1. Consider a conic reservoir of unit depth that is initially filled with water at the height of h = 200 mm. A rigid cuboid block, with dimensions of 10 cm x 5 cm x 3 cm, is then dropped into the water. When the equilibrium state is reached, the block floats on the water's surface, as shown in the figure. If the specific gravity of the block is 0.5, determine the change in the free surface position of the water, i.e., Ah, in mm. %3D Hint: You can calculate the volume of liquid inside the conic reservoir with a unit depth in terms of the liquid height as V = th³/3.

- (a) An open-topped rectangular metal boat containing sand as a ballast floats on water. The boat has a width of 200 mm, a length of 800 mm, a height of 500 mm and a mass of 10 kg. Determine the mass of sand (kg) required for the can to be immersed to a depth of 250 mm in water. How should the sand be distributed in the floating boat? (Density of water 1000 kg/m³, density of sand 1600 kg/m³). (b) A venturi meter, as shown in Figure Q5, is attached to a horizontal pipe through which oil (relative density 0.9) is flowing. The tube narrows from a cross-sectional area A, of 0.5 m² to a cross-sectional area A2 of 0.4 m². The difference in pressure between area 1 (A1 ) and area 2 ( A2 ) is Ap = 2.5 x 10-2MN/m². Calculate the volumetric flow rate and the velocity of the fluid as it passes through the two sections. A2 A1 P2 M) Figure Q5.arrow_forward2. At a particular temperature, the surface tension of water is 0.073 N/m. Under ideal conditions, the contact angle between the glass is zero.
