Q2
The velocity distribution over a plate is given by

where, u = velocity, m/s, and y = distance from the plate boundary, m. If the viscosity of the fluid is 8 poise
find the shear stress at the plate boundary and at y = 0.15 m from the plate

Q3
A soap bubble 50 mm diameter has an internal pressure in excess of the outside pressure of 25 N/m2. Calculate
tension in the soap film.

Q4
Determine the minimum size of glass tubing that can be used to measure water level, if the capillary rise in the
tube is not to exceed 0.25 mm. Take surface tension of water in contact with air as 0.0735 N/m.
Q5
A U-tube is made up of two capillaries of bore 1 mm and 2 mm respectively. The tube is held vertically and is
partially filled with liquid of surface tension 0.05 N/m and zero contact angle. Calculate the mass density of the
liquid if the estimated difference in the level of two menisci is 12.5 mm.

Q6
An orifice 60 mm in diameter is discharging water under a head of 9 metres. If Cd = 0.6 and Cv = 0.9 find :
(i) Actual discharge, and
(ii) Actual velocity of the jet at vena-contracta

Q7
A jet of water issues from a circular orifice of 25 mm diameter, under a constant head of 1metre. It falls 35 mm
vertically down and strikes the ground at a distance of 350 mm from the center of the vena contracta. If the
discharge through the jet is 1.35 litres/s find:
(i) Co-efficient of discharge;
(ii) Co-efficient of velocity;
(iii) Co-efficient of contraction

Q8
A tank has two identical orifices in one of its vertical sides. The upper orifice is 2 metres below the water
surface. and the lower one is 4 metres below the water surface. If the value of Cv for each orifice is 0·9, find the
point of intersection of the two jets.

Q9
The head of water over a rectangular notch is 900 mm. The discharge is 0·3 m3/s. Find the length of the notch
when Cd = 0·62.

Q10
Find the discharge through a trapezoidal notch which is 1 m wide at the top and 0·4 m at the bottom and is 0·3
m in height. The head of water on the notch is 0·2 m. Assume Cd for rectangular portion = 0·62 while for
triangular portion = 0·6.
