Question 1 (7.5 Points)

\.._

The sliding plate viscometer shown below is used to measure the viscosity of fluid. The
top plate is moving to the right with a constant velocity of 10 mls in response to a force
of 3 N. the bottom plate is stationary. What is the viscosity of the fluid? Assume a linear
velocity distribution.

Question 3 (7.5 Points)

An 90 inverted cone contains water as shown. The volume of the water in the cone is
given by \1 = (tr I 3)h 3 The original depth of the water is_ l 0 em. A block with a volume
of 200 ci1? and a specific gravity of 0.6 is floated in the water. What will be the change
(in em) iri water surface height in the cone?

Question 4 (7.5 Points)

In the drainage of irrigated lands it is frequently desirable to install automatic flap gates
to prevent flood from backing up into lateral drains from a river. Suppose a square flap
gate, of side .12_= 1.5 ~ and weight 8 kN, is hinged 1 m above its center (a= 0.25 m), as
shown in the figure below, and the face is sloped 4 from the vertical. To what depth will
water rise behind gate before it opens.
