Answer:

ρ=962.16kg/m^3

Explanation:

The first thing we must do to solve is to find the mass of the specimen using the weight equation

w = mg

m=w/g

m=0.45/9.81=0.04587kg

To find the volume we must make a free-body diagram on the specimen, taking into account that the weight will go down and the buoyant force up, and the result of that subtraction will be the measured weight value (0.081N).

We must bear in mind that the principle of archimedes indicates that the buoyant force is given by

F = ρgV

where V is the specimen volume and ρ is the density of alcohol = 789kg / m ^ 3

considering the above we have the following equation

0.081=0.45-(789)(9.81m/s^2)V

solving for V

V=(0.081-0.45)/(-789x9.81)

V=4.7673x10^-5m^3

finally we found the density

ρ=m/v

ρ=0.04587kg/4.7673x10^-5m^3

ρ=962.16kg/m^3

What are the units or dimensions of the shear rate dv/dy (English units)? Then, what are the dimensions of the shear stress τ= μ

swat32

Answer:

1) Dimensions of shear rate is $[T^{-1}]$ .

2)Dimensions of shear stress are $[ML^{-1}T^{-2}]$

Explanation:

Since the dimensions of velocity 'v' are $[LT^{-1}]$ and the dimensions of distance 'y' are $[L]$ , thus the dimensions of $\frac{dv}{dy}$ become

$\frac{[LT^{-1}]}{[L]}=[T^{-1}]$ and hence the units become $s^{-1}$ .

Now we know that the dimensions of coefficient of dynamic viscosity $\mu$ are $[ML^{-1}T^{-1}]$ thus the dimensions of shear stress can be obtained from the given formula as

$[\tau ]=[ML^{-1}T^{-1}]\times [T^{-1}]\\\\[\tau ]=[ML^{-1}T^{-2}]$

Now we know that dimensions of momentum are $[MLT^{-1}]$

The dimensions of $Area\times time$ are $[L^{2}T]$

Thus the dimensions of $\frac{Moumentum}{Area\times time}=\frac{MLT^{-1}}{L^{2}T}=[MLT^{-2}]$

Which is same as that of shear stress. Hence proved.

A venturi meter is to be installed in a 63 mm bore section of a piping system to measure the flow rate of water in it. From spac

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Throat diameter $d_2$ =28.60 mm

Explanation:

Bore diameter $d_1=63mm$ ⇒ $A_1=3.09\times 10^{-3} m^2$

Manometric deflection x=235 mm

Flow rate Q=240 Lt/min⇒ Q=.004 $\frac{m^3}{s}$

Coefficient of discharge $C_d$ =0.8

We know that discharge through venturi meter

$Q=C_d\dfrac{A_1A_2\sqrt{2gh}}{\sqrt{A_1^2-A_2^2}}$

$h=x(\dfrac{S_m}{S_w}-1)$

$S_m$ =13.6 for Hg and $S_w$ =1 for water.

$h=0.235(\dfrac{13.6}{1}-1)$

h=2.961 m

Now by putting the all value in

$Q=C_d\dfrac{A_1A_2\sqrt{2gh}}{\sqrt{A_1^2-A_2^2}}$

$0.004=0.8\times \dfrac{3.09\times 10^{-3} A_2\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 2.961}}{\sqrt{(3.09\times 10^{-3})^2-A_2^2}}$

$A_2=6.42\times 10^{-4} m^2$

⇒ $d_2$ =28.60 mm

So throat diameter $d_2$ =28.60 mm
