In a flow field, the streamlines and equipotential lines 

Assertion (A): The local acceleration is zero in a steady motion.

Reason (R): The convective component arises due to the fact thata fluid element experiences different velocities at differentlocations.

Match List-I (Flows Over or Inside the Systems) with List-II (Type of Flow) and select the correct answer:  

Which one of the following statements is correct? 
Irrotational flow is characterized as the one in which

Match List-I with List-II and select the correct answer using the code given below the lists: 

A streamline is a line: 

Assertion (A): Streamlines can cross one another if the fluid hashigher velocity. 
Reason (R): At sufficiently high velocity, the Reynolds number ishigh and at sufficiently high Reynolds numbers, the structure ofthe flow is turbulent type.

If for a flow, a stream function

• exists and satisfies the Laplaceequation, then which one of the following is the correctstatement?

A plate of rectangular shape having the dimensions of 0.4m x0.6m is immersed in water with its longer side vertical. The totalhydrostatic thrust on one side of the plate is estimated as 18.3kN. All other conditions remaining the same, the plate is turnedthrough 90^o such that its longer side remains vertical. What would be the total force on one of the plate? 

What is the vertical component of pressure force on submergedcurved surface equal to? 

A rectangular tank of base 3 m × 3 m contains oil of specificgravity 0.8 upto a height of 8 m. When it is accelerated at 2.45m/s² vertically upwards, the force on the base of the tank will be: 

A vertical dock gate 2 meter wide remains in position due to horizontal force of water on one side. The gate weights 800 Kg and just starts sliding down when the depth of water upto the bottom of the gate decreases to 4 meters. Then the coefficient of friction between dock gate and dock wall will be:  

A circular plate 1.5 m diameter is submerged in water with its greatest and least depths below the surface being 2 m and 0.75m respectively. What is the total pressure (approximately) onone face of the plate?

The hydrostatic force on the curvedsurface AB shown in given figure acts.     

Assertion (A): A circular plate is immersed in a liquid with its periphery touching the free surface and the plane makes anangle q with the free surface with different values of q , the position of centre of pressure will be different.
Reason (R): Since the center of pressure is dependent on second moment of area, with different values of q , second moment ofarea for the circular plate will change.
