A, hinge 3-86 Gate AB (0.6-m x 0.9-m) is located at the bottom of a tank filled with methyl alcohol (SG = 0.79), and hinged along its bottom edge A. Knowing that the weight of the gate is 300 N, determine the minimum force that must be applied to the cable (BCD) to open the gate. c 0.8m3-84 The bowl shown in the figure (the white volume) is to be cast in a pair of molding boxes. When liquid metal is poured in to the top, calculate the additional tensile force on each of 20 bolts located circumferentially. The specific gravity of the molten metal can be taken to be 7.8. 20mm3-72 A water trough of semicircular cross section of radius 0.6 m consists of two symmetric parts hinged to each other at the bottom, as shown in Fig. P3—72. The two parts are held together by a cable and turnbuckle placed every 3 m along the length of the trough. Calculate the tension in each cable when the trough is filled to the rim. -}—— 12m 4 "Cable NZ ~Hinge 3-54 A simple experiment has long been used to dem- onstrate how negative pressure prevents water from being spilled out of an inverted glass. A glass that is fully filled by water and covered with a thin paper is inverted, as shown in Fig. P3-54, Determine the pressure at the bottom of the glass, and explain why water does not fall out.

A third flat plate of surface area A = 20.0 cm X 20.0 cm (on one side) is dragged through the oil at steady velocity V = 1.00 m/s to the right as sketched. The top plate is stationary, but the bottom plate is moving at velocity V = 0.300 m/s to the Jeft as sketched. The heights are h, = 1.00 mm and h, = 1.65 mm. The force required to pull the plate through the oil is F. (a) Sketch the velocity pro- files and calculate the distance y, where the velocity is zero. Hint: Since the gaps are small and the oil is very viscous, the velocity profiles are linear in both gaps. Use the no-slip con- ditions at the walls to determine the velocity profile in each gap. (b) Calculate force F in newtons (N) required to keep the middle plate moving at constant speed.2-127 The rotating parts of a hydroelectric power plant hay- ing power capacity W have a rotational synchronous speed n. The weight of the rotating parts (the hydroturbine and its electric generator) is supported in a thrust bearing having annular form between D and d diameters as sketched. The thrust bearing is operated with a very thin oil film of thickness e and dynamic viscosity y. It is assumed that the oil is a Newtonian fluid and the velocity is approximated as linear in the bearing. Calculate the ratio of lost power in the thrust bearing to the produced power in the hydraulic power plant. Use W = 48.6 MW, yw = 0.035 Pa-s, 2 = 500 rpm, e=0.25 mm, D = 3.2 m, andd=2.4m.
