Quiz 1

1- Convert a pressure of 0.2 bar into N/m2, kPa, m H2O, and mmHg

2- The force, P, that is exerted on a spherical particle moving slowly through a

liquid is given by the equation P = 3p μ D V , Where μ is a fluid property
(viscosity) having dimensions of FL-2T, D is the particle diameter, and V is
the particle velocity. What are the dimensions of the constant, 3p? Would
you classify this equation as a general homogeneous equation?

3- A block of weight W slides down an inclined plane on a thin film of oil, as

shown in figure. The film contact area is A and its thickness h. Assuming a
linear velocity distribution in the film, derive an analytic expression for the
terminal velocity V of the block.
