    Problem Set-2: Fluid Statics


    GROUP A

    A. Pressure
    1. A spherical balloon, of diameter 1.5 m and total mass 1.2 kg, is released in the
    atmosphere. Assuming that the balloon does not expand and that the temperature lapse
    rate () in the atmosphere is 0.0065 K/m, determine the height above sea-level to
    which the balloon will rise. Atmospheric temperature and pressure at sea-level are 15C
    and 101 kPa respectively; for air, R = 287 J/ kg K.

    Hints: use following equation

    [Ans. z = 5708 m]

    B. Manometer
    2. Vessels A and B contain water under
    pressure of 274.68 kPa and 137.34
    kPa respectively. What is the
    deflection of the mercury in the
    differential gauge shown in the
    accompanying figure (Fig. 2.20)?

    [Ans. 1.27 m]

    3. For a compound manometer shown


    in the figure below, what is the gauge
    pressure at C if the manometric fluid
    is mercury and if the fluid in the pipe
    and in the tubing which connects the
    two pipes is water (Fig. 2.21)?

    [Ans. PC = 3.9013 kg/cm2]


    4. As shown in the accompanying figure
    (Fig. 2.24), the pipe and the
    connection B are full of oil of specific
    gravity 0.9 under pressure. If the U
    tube contains mercury, find the
    elevation of point A in metres.

    [Ans. 112.76 m]

    C. Hydrostatic Thrust

    5. A circular plate 2.5 m diameter is immersed in water its greatest and least depth below
    the free surface being 3 m and 1 m respectively. Find the total pressure on side of the
    plate and the position of the centre of pressure.
    [Ans. 96.309 kN, 2.125 m]

    6. Calculate the total pressure and the x, y coordinates of the centre of pressure of a vertical
    right-angled triangular plane (of 2.4 m height and 2.0 m base) immersed in the water.
    [Ans. 37.67 kN, xp=0.75 m, yp=1.8 m]

    7. A sector gate of radius 4 m and length 5 m,


    controls the flow of water in a horizontal
    channel. For the conditions shown in Fig. 3.18,
    determine the total thrust on the gate.

    [Ans. 205.713 kN, 1730’ with horizontal]

    8. For a 2.5 m length of gate AB shown in the


    figure, find the compression in strut due to
    water pressure if points B, C and are hinged.

    [Ans. 67.885 kN]
