An aircraft is flying in level flight at a speed of
200 km/hr through air (density, = 1.2 kg/m2 , and
viscosity = 1.6 x 10-5 N-s/m2). The lift co-efficient at this
1 2 3 3
speed is 0.4 and the drag co- efficient is 0.0065. The
mass of the aircraft is 800 kg. The effective lift area of
the aircraft is ?
A thin flat plate 0.5 m x 0.7 m in size settles in a
large tank of water with a terminal velocity of
0.12 m/s. The co-efficient of drag Cd= 1.328/√Re for a
2 laminar boundary layer and Cd= 0.0172/ Re^(1/5) for a 2 4 2
turbulent boundary layer, where Re is the plate
Reynolds number. Assume viscosity = 10e-3 N-s/m2
and density= 1000 kg/m3. The submerged weight of the
plate is ?

Flow rate of a fluid (density = 1200 kg/m^3 ) in a small

diameter tube is 780 mm^3/s. The length and the
3 diameter of the tube are 2 m and 0.5 mm, respectively. 2 2 3
The pressure drop in 2 m length is equal to 2.0 MPa.
The viscosity of the fluid is ?

An automobile with projected area 2.6m2 is running

on a road with speed of 120 km per hour. The mass
density and the kinematic viscosity of air are 1.2 kg/m3
4 2 1 2
and 1.5 x 10-5m 2 /s, respectively. The drag coefficient
is 0.30 The drag force on the automobile and the metric
horse power required to overcome the drag force are ?

5 The laminar flow takes place between closely spaced 2 3 3

parallel plates. The velocity profile is given by u =y/h .
The gap height, h, is 5 mm and the space is filled with
oil (specific gravity = 0.86, viscosity m = 2 × 10-4

N-s/m2 ). The bottom plate is stationary and the top

plate moves with a steady velocity of V=5 cm/s. The
area of the plate is 0.25m2 . The power required to keep
the plate in steady motion is ?
