• Prob. 2-47, second figure (the small figure with the velocity profile): Change “ω 1” to “ω1r”, and change “ω2” to “ω2r”.

• Prob. 2-75, first equation of solution: Change “ ” to “ ”, and add coordinate y to the figure (pointing up and starting at the
top of the disk).
• Prob. 3-8E, Figure: Change “1.26 psia” to “12.7 psia”, and add a label “Patm” pointing to the top of the fluid column on the right
side of the manometer.

• Prob. 3-48: The final equation is correct, but the numerical values were plugged in incorrectly. Change the equation to

Also
notice that the answer changes from 5.0 to 1.34.
• Prob. 3-82, Figure: Raise the arrow for “10 cm” to water mark, as shown.
• Prob. 3-86, second equation from the bottom: Change “1079” to “1668”, and change “461” to “1050”. On the last equation,
change “461” to “1050”, which yields a mass of 107 kg – change the 47.0 kg to 107 kg in two places.
• Prob. 3-124, four places: Change subscript “alcohol” to “oil”.
• Prob. 3-144, second to last line: Change “wouldn’t be a very” to “wouldn’t be very”.
• Prob. 6-27: An inertial frame of reference relative to the moving control volume is used, which means that the mass flow rate
should also be relative to the moving control volume. The mass flow rate entering the control volume is thus

. Change 25 kg/s to 16.67 kg/s in the second-to-last equation, and the answer is -167
N. The answer to the power also changes to 833 W.
• Prob. 6-28: The answer to this problem depends on the answer to the previous problem. So, in two places, change “250” to
“166.7”, and the final answer changes to 0.556 m/s2.
• Prob. 6-29E, figure at the bottom: Change “100 ft/s” to “100 ft3/s”.
• Prob. 6-37: An inertial frame of reference relative to the moving control volume is used, which means that the mass flow rate
should also be relative to the moving control volume. Move the sentence “The mass flow rate of water…”, along with the equation
for , to immediately following the sentence “Therefore, we can assume the plate … of 20 m/s.”. Then, change the equation for to

. Finally, substitution of this revised value into the final

equation yields a final answer of 785 N.
• Prob. 6-38: The same correction discussed in Prob. 6-37 applies here. Namely, in the second-to-last line in the computer code,
change “V_jet” to “V_r”. This changes the values in the third column of the table, and changes the plot. The revised table and plot
are shown below.
