This document contains a midterm test for a Mechanical Fluid course. The test has 5 questions covering topics like pressure calculations for submerged objects, calculating the fraction of an iceberg below water, determining material density from weight measurements in air and liquid, using a U-tube manometer to measure pressure differences, and how buoyancy force is affected by changes in head space pressure. It provides the student name, ID, and instructions on naming the file.

Student Name: Student ID number: Q1: An empty box 1 m on each side is located with its top 10 m under the surface of a freshwater lake. - What is the gauge pressure on its top side? - What is the gauge pressure on its bottom side? - What does the force difference between top and bottom? The difference imply?
Q2: Find the fraction of the volume of an iceberg that is
below the water line. Know: density of iceberg = 920 kg/m3 and density of sea water = 1025 kg/m3)
Q3: A sample of an unknown material weighs 300 N in
air and 200 N when submerged in an alcohol solution with a density of 0.70x103 kg/m3. What is the density of the material?
Q4: A U-tube manometer is used as a differential
pressure measurement instrument to measure the pressure difference between two tanks. The two tanks are at the same elevation. a) Calculate the pressure difference PB – PA for the general case in which ρA is not the same as ρB (they are different fluids). b) Simplify for the case in which ρA = ρB (they are the same fluid). Q5: If the pressure (PA) in the head space is increased, the buoyancy force on the submerged block will: a) decrease, b) increase, c) stay the same, d) equal zero. Explain?
