the bottom of a swimming pool. With what velocity does it rise to
the surface? Assume it has reached its terminal velocity.
4. For laminar flow in a round pipe of diameter D, at what
distancefrom the centerline is the actual velocity equal to the
average velocity?

pressure drop using Dimensional Analysis
6. Water, assumed incompressible, flows steadily through the
round pipe in Fig. 1. The entrance velocity is constant, u = U_0,
and the exit velocity approximates turbulent flow, u = u_max
〖(1 - r/R)〗^(1/7). Determine the ratio U_0 /u_max for this
flow.

oil having viscosity of 1 Poise. Determine the power absorbed in
the bearing when the speed of rotation if 60 rpm.
