---
1.a) State Newton’s law of viscosity. Define viscosity. What are the types of viscosity?
10
Explain how viscosity varies with temperature.
b) State and prove Pascal’s law along with a neat diagram. [8+7]
2.a) Define pressure. Explain how pressures varies with temperature, density and altitude.
-0
Name the devices used to measure pressure.
b) Show that the center of pressure of lamina immersed vertically under liquid is always
below its centroid. [7+8]

3. A uniform flow of 10m/s is flowing over a doublet of strength 15m2/s. The doublet is in
20
the line of the uniform flow. The polar co-ordinates of a point P in the flow field are 0.9m
and 300. Find:
a) Stream line function and b) the resultant velocity at the point.[8+7]
21
4.a) Define stream function and velocity potential function.
b) Differentiate between forced vortex and free vortex flow. [8+7]
5. Find an expression for the discharge over a rectangular weir in terms of head of water
AM
over the crest of the weir. [15]
6. State continuity equation and Bernoulli’s equation. Mention the assumptions made. How
is it modified while applying in practice? List out its engineering applications. [15]
7. What are the energy losses? Derive an equation for Head loss due to sudden contraction
in pipes. [15]
8. How will you find the drag on a flat plate due to laminar and turbulent boundary layers?
