The weight of the cylindrical tank is negligible in comparison to the weight of water it contains (water weighs 62.4lb/ft3). The coefficient of static friction between the tank and the horizontal surface is s. (a) Assuming a full tank, find the smallest force P required to tip the tank, and the smallest s that would allow tipping to take place. (b) If the force P = 200 lb initiates tipping, determine the depth of water in the tank.
Calculate the resultant force caused by the water acting on the parabolic arch dam. The water levels are 16 ft on the upstream side and zero on the downstream side. For water, use =62.4lb/ft3.
A barrel is filled with two unknown fluids. The total hydrostatic pressure at the bottom of the barrel is 6.51 kPa. If the pressure of fluid 1 is twice as the pressure produced by fluid 2, find the specific gravity of the denser fluid if it occupies 2/3 of the barrel’s height. The height of the barrel is 0.5m. (The shape of the barrel is uniform).
Water flows in a channel with uniform curvature R. The channel has height h = 6 mm and width w=190 mm (normal to the drawing plane) as shown in Fig Q3. The curved part of the channel has a length of 1 =95 mm in the x-direction. You can assume that the channel height is very small compared to the curvature radius. Neglect effects of gravity. channel y V X 1 lower wall h upper wall centreline Fig Q3: Geometry of curved channel, drawing not to scale. The curvature of the channel is not shown, as too small to be drawn accurately at this scale. Work to 4 significant digits. Enter all values using base units or their combinations, i.e. m, m/s, Pa, N. Do not use multiples as e.g. mm, kPa. You can use values with exponents, such as 0.12e3.
