a. Fluid
b. Fluid Mechanics
c. Hydraulics

2. What do you mean by viscosity? Differentiate dynamic viscosity and kinematic viscosity.
3. Differentiate ideal and real liquids.
4. What is capillarity? Derive expression for height of capillary rise.

Problem Solving. Answer the following problems and show your complete solutions. Express
your answers in two decimal places.

1. The container is filled with water at a temperature of 25°C and a depth of 2.5 m. If the
container has a mass of 30 kg, determine the combined weight of the container and the
water.

2. Air is injected to tank of water through a nozzle to form bubbles. If this procedure requires
to form 3.0mm diameter of bubbles, determine the pressure at the nozzle to exceed the
surrounding water? Compute for the absolute pressure if the pressure of the surrounding
water is 100.3KPa. Assume the surface tension of the water to be 0.0735 N/m.

3. If the change in pressure required to reduce the volume of water by 0.3% is 6.60 MPa,
determine the bulk modulus of the water.

4. The Newtonian fluid is confined between a plate and a fixed surface. If its velocity profile
is defined by u = (8y - 0.3y2) mm/s, where y is in mm, determine the shear stress that the
fluid exerts on the plate and on the fixed surface. Take 𝜇 = 0.482 N-s/m2.
5. The rain cloud has an approximate volume of 30 km3 and an average height, top to bottom,
of 125 m. If a cuboid container collects 58 mm of water after the rain falls out of the cloud,
estimate the total mass of rain that fell from the cloud.
