The figure Tank3png shows a water tank where a wall is a vertical flat-plate that is composed of ...
The figure shows a cylindrical tank of 80 em in diameter which is fully filled with water. In order to increase the flow from the tank to the exit pipe on the left, an additional pressure is applied to the water surface by an air compressor to supply air to the upper air chamber of the tank. The external walls of the tank are exposed to the atmospheric conditions of the area. You are required to determine the hydrostatic conditions...
Hydrostatic Pressure. A rectangular vertical plate is submerged in water. The top edge is horizontal and at a depth of 0.6m. The length of the vertical edge is 1.2m. determine at what dept under the water surface a horizontal line can be drawn on the plate such that the hydrostatic forces on either side of the line is equal. (Hint: The magnitude of the hydrostatic force on a vertical surface is equal to the average pressure x the area.Fluid Mechanics...
Q1.) (3) point The tank is filled with water. 1- Determine the resultant force acting on the triangular plate A and the location of the center of pressure, measured from the top of the tank. 2- Determine the resultant force acting on the semicircular plate B and the location of the center of pressure, measured from the top of the tank. 3- Determine the resultant force acting on the trapezoidal plate C and the location of the center of pressure,...
A
rectangular gate that is 2m wide is located in the vertical wall of
a tank containing water as shown in the figure at the right copied
from the text. It’s desired to have the gate open automatically
when the depth of the water above the top of the gate reaches 10m.
Please answer the following: a) At what distance, d, should the
frictionless horizontal shaft be located? b) What is the magnitude
of the force on the gate when...
QUESTION 17 The figure below shows a tank of water on the right, restrained by a gate which is hinged at the bottom. There is a terrible risk that the gate will rotate open counter-clockwise and let all the water out to flood the village. Our hero keeps the gate upright by directing a mighty stream of water (a jet of circular cross-section and area, Aj) which impinges on the left side of the gate just at the level of...
Question 2 Water is draining from a pressurized tank as shown in the figure. The exit velocity is given by Ve=(2p/p+2gh)1/2 where p is the pressure in the tank, p is the water density, and h is the elevation of the water surface above the outlet. Constant pressure supply Control surface Exit e The depth of the water in the tank is 1.7 m. The tank has a cross-sectional area of 1.8 m2, and the exit area of the pipe...
An open tank has a vertical partition and on one side contains gasoline with a density p = 770 kg/m3 at a depth of 8.7 m, as shown in the figure below. A rectangular gate that is 8.7 m high and 2 m wide and hinged at one end is located in the partition. Water is slowly added to the empty side of the tank. At what depth, h, will the gate start to open? -Partition Stop 8.7m Water Gasoline...
INSTRUCTOR: hin Question 1 A wall is placed inside a container as shown in the Figure below. There is water above the wall and air at atmospheric pressure below. The wall is subdivided into 3 segments: 2 straight segments of length L -2m each, and one semi-circular segment with a radius of r Im. The total length of the dashed line A-B is thus 6m. a. b. c. What is the magnitude of the resultant force due to pressure acting...
An open tank has a vertical partition and on one side contains gasoline with a density p-580 kg/m at a depth of 4.6 m, as shown in the figure below. A rectangular gate that is 4.6 m high and 2 m wide and hinged at one end is located in the partition. Water is slowly added to the empty side of the tank. At what depth, h, will the gate start to open? Assumeh 46 m. Partition Concepts: The pressure...
QUESTION TWO (15 marks) A. A small chemical-industry tank fitted with a manometer as shown contains a dense fluid with specific gravity S 3.0 and 20 cm deep. Workers should have added water to a depth of 15 cm above the dense fluid. What height Ah do you expect to find when you inspect the tank? (7 marks) 15 cm Water Ah? 20 cm S 3.0 B. A sea-water aquarium is planned to have a circular window with diameter D-80...
