Question 1:
z
h
3 cm
For fluid in rigid body motion we have
ay
dz
=
dy
g + az
Also from the geometry we have
dz
h
=
dy 0.03
Here az = 0, ay = 3 m/s2, g = 9.81 m/s2. Thus,
3
h
=
0 + 9.81 0.03
h = 0.0092 m = 9.2 mm
The negative sign means that the surface is deflected as shown in the figure. This is expected
for a positive acceleration in the y direction.
Question 2:
0.2 m
0.5 m
0.5 m
For fluid in rigid body motion we have
ay
dz
=
dy
g + az
Also from the geometry we have
dz
h
=
dy 0.25
Here az = 0, ay = 3 m/s2, g = 9.81 m/s2. Thus,
3
h
=
0 + 9.81 0.25
Question 3:

Since the volume of water is constant, so is the volume of the air. Accordingly,

L 1.2

L = 0.667 m
Therefore,
dz 1.2 1.2

From above we obtain
a y = 17.7 m/s 2
In order to find pressure at B, we use
p2 p1 = a y ( y2 y1 )
p B = a y ( y 2 y1 )
= 998 17.7 ( 2 0 )
= 35.3 kPa
Question 4:
From the given information,
u = 5 z 3, v = x + 4, w = 4 y
Thus, at the origin
u = 3 m/s, v = 4 m/s, w = 0
so that
V = u 2 + v 2 + w2 =
( 3)2 + 4 2 + 0 2
= 5 m/s
Question 5:
The velocity magnitude is obtained as
V = u 2 + v 2 + w2 =
(x + y )2 + (xy 3 + 16)2 + 0 2
Question 6:
The streamline equation is obtained from
dy v
1
= =
dx u 1 + y
Rearranging and integrating the above equation yields
(1 + y )dy = dx
1 2
y = x+C
2
where C is a constant. For the streamline that passes through origin (x = y = 0), C = 0. Thus,
1
y + y2 = x
2
The streamline is plotted below. Since v = 1 > 0, the direction of the flow is as shown.
