    1. A Newtonian fluid is one in which the stress on the fluid is linearly proportional to the rate of strain or rate of deformation. Water is an example of a Newtonian fluid. 2. When the air temperature in an automobile tire rises from 25°C to 50°C, the pressure will increase. If the original pressure was 210 kPa and the volume is 0.025 m3, the pressure will rise to 245 kPa. To restore the pressure to the original 210 kPa, 0.0035 m3 of air must be bled off. 3. Surface tension is the elastic tendency of a fluid surface which makes it acquire the least surface area possible. It is caused by unequal

    1. What is a Newtonian fluid? Is water a Newtonian fluid?

    2. The pressure in an automobile tire depends on the temperature of the air in the tire.
    When the air temperature is 25°C, the pressure gage reads 210 kPa. If the volume of
    the tire is 0.025 m3, determine the pressure rise in the tire when the air temperature
    in the tire rises to 50°C. Also, determine the amount of air that must be bled off to
    restore pressure to its original value at this temperature. Assume the atmospheric
    pressure to be 100 kPa.

    3. What is surface tension? What is it caused by? Why is the surface tension also called surface energy?

    4. A 20-m3 tank contains nitrogen at 25°C and 800 kPa. Some nitrogen is allowed to escape until the pressure in the
    tank drops to 600 kPa. If the temperature at this point is 20°C, determine the amount of nitrogen that has escaped.
    5. What is the difference between gage pressure and absolute pressure?

    6. The pressure in a natural gas pipeline is measured by the manometer shown in Fig. P3–38E 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.

    7. The pressure of water flowing through a pipe is measured by the


    arrangement shown in Fig.2 For the values given, calculate the pressure
    in the pipe.
    8. Define the resultant hydrostatic force acting on a submerged surface, and the center of pressure.

    9. A room in the lower level of a cruise ship has a 30-cm-diameter circular window. If the midpoint
    of the window is 5 m below the water surface, determine the hydrostatic force acting on the
    window, and the pressure center. Take the specific gravity of seawater to be 1.025.
    10. A 4-m-long quarter-circular gate of radius 3 m and of negligible weight is hinged about its upper
    edge A, as shown in Fig. P3– 5. The gate controls the flow of water over the ledge at B, where the
    gate is pressed by a spring. Determine the minimum spring force required to keep the gate closed
    when the water level rises to A at the upper edge of the gate.
