ASSIGNMENT 2 FOR FLUID MECHANICS BACKLOG STUDENTS

Question 1
(A) Write short note on Pressure on submerged plane surface and Pressure on submerged
curved surface. Also differentiate between Centre of pressure and Centre of gravity for
such surfaces.
(B) A vertical square plate of size 2 m x 2 m is submerged in water with its upper edge horizontal
and below water surface at a vertical distance of 0.5 m from water surface. Locate a horizontal
line on the plate such that the force on the upper portion above the line is equal to the force on
lower portion below the line.


Question 2
Derive Eulers equation of motion along a stream line. From Eulers equation derive Bernoullis equation
by clearly stating the assumptions made.





Question 3
Two reservoirs whose water levels differ by 20 m are connected with a compound pipe line consisting of
three pipes in series. Pipe of 200 mm diameter is connected to upper reservoir and pipe of 300 mm
diameter is connected to lower reservoir. Middle pipe is 150 mm diameter. All pipes are 100 m long
with friction factors of 0.023, 0.024 and 0.025 respectively. Considering all losses find rate of flow of
water and velocity in each pipe.
