Past Year Questions: Fluid Statics - Question 9

Oil in a hydraulic cylinder is compressed from an initial volume 2m3 to 1.96 m3. If the pressure of oil in the cylinder changes from 40 MPa to 80 MPa during compression, the bulk modulus of elasticity of oil is

[2007]

Detailed Solution for Past Year Questions: Fluid Statics - Question 9

Bulk modules of elasticity,
 


K = 2000 MPa

Past Year Questions: Fluid Statics - Question 10

The pressure gauges G1 and G2 installed on the system show pressure of ρG1 = 5.00 bar and ρG2 = 1.00 bar. The value of unknown pressure P is [Atmospheric pressure = 1.01 bar]

[2004]

Detailed Solution for Past Year Questions: Fluid Statics - Question 10



P = 5 + 1 + 1.01 = 7.01 bar

Past Year Questions: Fluid Statics - Question 11

A closed cylinder having a radius R and height H is filled with oil of density ρ. If the cylinder is rotated about its axis at an angular velocity of ω, the thrust at the bottom of the cylinder is

[2004]

Detailed Solution for Past Year Questions: Fluid Statics - Question 11

We know that

 [∵ v = ω × r]

Area of circular ring = 2πrdr
Force on elementry ring
= Intensity of pressure × Area of ring


∴ Total force on the top of the cylinder


Thrust at the bottom of the cylinder
= Weight of water in cylinder + Total force on the top of cylinder

Past Year Questions: Fluid Statics - Question 12

A cylindrical body of cross-sectional area A, height H and density ρs, is immersed to a depth h in a liquid of density ρ, and tied to the bottom with a string. The tension in the string is ____.

[2003]

Detailed Solution for Past Year Questions: Fluid Statics - Question 12

Let T = Tension in string
T1 = Mg = Buoyancy force
T + ρsH.A.g = ρ.h A.g
∴ T = g.A(ρh - ρs.H)

Refer to figure, the absolute pressure of gas A in the bulb is

[1997]

Detailed Solution for Past Year Questions: Fluid Statics - Question 16

Patm = 760 mm Hg

Let PA be the absolute pressure at 'A'
Pressure at D = Pressure at E
or PA + PCD = Patm + PAF + PFE


PA= 771.2 mm Hg
