(b) The velocity distribution in a uid is give by u = 40000 y (1-2y) where u is the velocity in m/sec at a distance of y meters normal to the boundary. If the dynamic viscosity of uid is 1.8 104 poise, determine the shear stress at y = 0.2m. [8+8] 2. (a) What do you mean by Hydrostatic pressure. (b) Dene Total pressure and centre of pressure (c) A circular plate 2.5m in diameter is submerged in water as shown in gure 2c. Its greatest and least depths below free surface of water are 3m and 2m respectively. Find i. Total pressure on front face of the plate and ii. the position of centre of pressure [3+4+9]

ii. Is this ow rotational or irrotational ?. If rotational, determine at point A (2,4,6). [3+4+9] 4. (a) State and derive impulse momentum equation. What are the applications of impulse momentum equation. (b) A pipe line 0.6 cm diameter conveying oil (specic granity 0.85) at the ow rate of 1800 lit/sec has a 900 bend in the horizontal plane. The pressure at the entrance to the bend is 147.15KN/m2 and loss of head in the bend is 2m of oil. Find the magnitude and direction of the force exerted by the oil on the bend. [8+8] 5. (a) What is meant by Magnus eect. Explain. (b) Describe with the help of a sketch, the variation of drag coecient for a cylinder over a wide range of Reynolds number. (c) A kite 0.8m0.8m weighing 3.924N assumes an angle of 120 to the horizontal. The string attached to the kite makes an angle of 45 0 to the horizontal. The pull on the string is 24.525N when the wind is owing at a speed of 30 Km/hr. Find the corresponding coecient of drag and lift. Take mass density of air as 1.25Kg/m3 . [3+4+9] 6. (a) Draw a neat sketch of Reynolds apparatus and explain how the laminar ow can be demonstrated with the help of the apparatus. (b) Two parallel plates kept 100 mm apart have laminar ow of oil between them with a maximum velocity of 1.5 m/sec. Calculate discharge per metre width, shear stress at the plates and the dierence in pressure between two points 20m apart. Assume viscosity of oil to be 24.5 poise. [8+8] 7. (a) Derive and expression for head lost due to sudden contraction of a pipe. (b) A pipe increases in diameter suddenly from 10 cm to 20 cm. If the discharge of water through the pipe is 100 lit/sec., determine the loss of head due to sudden enlargement of cross sectional area. Also determine the dierence of pressure between two sections of the pipe line. [8+8] 8. (a) Derive an equation for discharge of a venturimeter. (b) Explain why Cd of a venturimeter is more than that of orice meter. (c) A horizontal venturimeter with inlet and throat diameters 300 mm and 150mm respectively is used to measure the ow of water. The pressure intensity at inlet is 130 KN/m2 while the vacuum pressure head at the throat is 350 mm of mercury. Assuming that 3% of head is lost in between inlet and throat, nd Cd of venturimeter and rate of ow. [6+2+8]
