QUIS 1 Fluid Mechanic

1. In a Fluid The Velocity measured at a distance of 75 mm from the

boundary is 1,125 m/s. The Fluid has absolute viscosity 0,048 Pa s and
relative density 0,913. What is the velocity gradient and shear stress at
the boundary assuming a linear velocity distribution? Determine its
kinematic viscosity.

2. What is the main distinction between a Newtonian fluid and a non-

Newtonian fluid? Name at least three Newtonian fluids and three non-
Newtonian fluids.
3. The absolute pressure in water at a depth of 8 m is read to be 175 kPa.
Determine (a) the local atmospheric pressure, and (b) the absolute
pressure at a depth of 8 m in a liquid whose specific gravity is 0,78 at the
same location.
4. The basic barometer can be used to measure the height of a building. If
the barometric readings at the top and at the bottom of a building are
730 and 755 mmHg, respectively, determine the height of the building.
Assume an average air density of 1,18 kg/m3. Density of mercury is
13.600 Kg/m3
