Problem Solving Chapter IV

The document presents a series of problem-solving scenarios related to fluid dynamics and mechanics, including calculations for water spillage from a trapezoidal tank under acceleration, the inclination of oil surfaces in an inclined vessel, rotation speeds for cylindrical and conical tanks to prevent spillage, and pressure calculations in a rotating pipe filled with oil. Each problem requires specific physical principles and formulas to derive the solutions. The problems involve various geometrical shapes and conditions affecting fluid behavior.

PROBLEM SOLVING CHAPTER IV

Problem 1.] An open trapezoidal tank having a bottom width of 3 m is 2 m high, 1.5 m

wide, and has its sides inclined 60º with the horizontal. It is filled with water to a depth of

1.5 m. If the tank is accelerated horizontally along its length at 4.4 m/s 2, how much

water is spilled out?

Problem 2.] A vessel containing oil is accelerated on a plane inclined 15º with the

horizontal at1.2 m/s2. Determine the inclination of the oil surface when the motion is (a)

upwards, and (b) downwards.

Problem 3.] An open cylindrical tank having a radius of 300 mm and a height of 1.2 m is

full of water. How fast should it be rotated about its own vertical axis so that 75% of its

volume will be spilled out?

Problem 4.] A conical vessel with sides inclined 30º with its vertical axis is revolved

about another axis 1 m from its own and parallel. How many revolutions per minute

must it make in order that water poured into it will be entirely discharged by the rotating

effect?

Problem 5.] A 75 mm diameter pipe, 2 m long is just filled with oil (S.G.=0.822) and

then capped, and placed on a horizontal position. It is rotated at 27.5 rad/sec about a

vertical axis 0.5 m from one end (outside the pipe). What is the pressure in kPa at the

far end of the pipe?
