Question 1

Cubic wood block

Side (a) = 3m
Pwood = 400 kg /m3
Immersed depth = 0.95m

Plastic Block
Pplastic =900 kg/m3
Side = 3m

A) The density of the fluid , pfluid ( kg/m3)

Weight of wooden block = w w = Pwood x g x v

w w = 400 x 9.81 x 33 = 105948 N
This weight is equal to buoyancy force F B
F B = Pfuid x g x V fuid displace
F B = Pfluid x 9.81 x A x X wood
F B = Pfluid x 9.81 x g x 0.95 =
(83.8755) pf
83.8755 pfluid = 105948
pfluid = 105948 / 83.8755
pfluid = 1263.16kg/m3
B) Immersed depth of plastic block weight of plastic block w p
= P plastic x g x v
= w p = 900 x 9.81 x 33 = 238140N
This weight in equal to Buoyancy force for plastic block

F B= Pfluid x g x V fluid displace

F B = 1263.16 x 9.81 x g x x p = (111524.396) x p
F B= w p
111524.396 x p=238140
x p = 238140/111524.396
x p = 2.135m

Question 2 .
Pg gℎ3 - Pm gℎ2 + Pw gℎ 1 + Pair = Pgly gℎ4 + Pa + m
Pair = Pa+m = p gly gℎ4 - Pg gℎ3 + Pmgℎ2
= Pw gℎ 1
Pair = patm = g ( Pgℎy ℎ4 - Pgℎ3 + Pm ℎ2 - Pw ℎ1)
= 9.81 [ (1200 x0.12) - (800x0.08) + (13600 x 0.05)-
(1000x0.1)]
= 6476.6 Pa
Gage pressure of air is 6476.6 N/m2 Pa

Z + 0.9 = 2.4m from A
Z = 1.5m from water surface
Question 4

∑ Fx = ∑ βm ⃗v - ∑ βm ⃗v
out ¿

= 0- ∑ βm ⃗v
¿
= -2 x 0.5
= -1 N
∑ F x = F ex + PA
= F RX + 0
= F RX
( β=1 ¿
Nearly uniform flow
F rx = 1 N

X - component force required to hold flat plate is 1N and acted in

-ve direction (against the water flow direction).

∑ Fy = ∑ βm ⃗v - ∑ βm ⃗v IF y = FR y + PA
out ¿

= ( βm v y 1 + βm v y 2) - 0 = FR y + 0
= 2 (0.5) + 2 (-0.5) = FR y
= 1-1
=0
( β=1 ¿
Nearly uniform flow
Y-component force required to hold flat plate is zero.
