Q. No. 1: Consider a rectangular element of fluid as shown in Fig 1. The pressure at the
center of the element be designated as P.

Show that how does the pressure in a fluid in which there are no shearing stresses vary
from point to point?

Q. No. 2: In a stationary mass of a single static fluid, the pressure is constant in any cross
section parallel to the earth’s surface but varies from height to height. Consider the
vertical column of fluid shown in above slide. Assume the cross-sectional area of the
column is S. At a height Z above the base of the column, let the pressure be p and density
be ρ.

a) Solve for incompressible Fluids

b) Solve for compressible Fluids
