    SEMESTER 2019B

    Activity 1: Fluids mechanic

    1. OBJECTIVE

    Analyze concepts of hydrostatic of fluids, applying concepts of forces and balance on submerged
    surfaces with the objective of understanding its behavior to rigorously apply it to the engineering field.
    .
    2. INSTRUCTIONS:

    Task 1: Resolving the following exercises:

    1. The water in a tank is pressurized by air, and the pressure is measured by a multifluid
    manometer as shown on the figure. Determine the gage pressure of air in the tank if
    . Take the densities of water, oil and mercury to be
    , respectively.

    2. The maximum blood pressure in the upper arm of a healthy person is about 120mmHg. If a
    vertical tube open to the atmosphere is connected to the vein in the arm of a person,
    determine how high the blood will rise in the tube. Take density of the blood to be .

    3. The pressure in a natural gas pipeline is measured by the manometer shown in the figure
    with one of the arms open to the atmosphere where the local atmospheric pressure is 14.2
    psia. Determine the absolute pressure in the pipeline.

    4. A 4-m-high, 5-m-wide rectangular plate blocks the end of a 4-m-deep freshwater channel, as
    shown in the figure, the plate is hinged about a horizontal axis along its upper edge through a
    point A and is restrained from opening by a fixed ridge at point B. Determine the force
    exerted on the plate by the ridge.

    5. A long, solid cylinder of radius 2 ft hinged at point A is used as an automatic gate, as shown
    in the figure. When the water level reaches 15 ft, the cylindrical gate opens by turning about
    the hinge at point A. Determine (a) the hydrostatic force acting on the cylinder and its line of
    action when the gates opens and (b) the weight of the cylinder per ft length of the cylinder.

    6. Consider a large cubic ice block floating in seawater. The specific gravities of ice and
    seawater are 0.92 and 1.025, respectively. If a 10-cm-high portion of the ice block extends
    above the surface of the water, determine the height of the ice block below the surface.
