1. Problem-4.12: For a given hypothetical flow, the velocity from time t = 0 to t = 5 s was u = 2 m/s, v = 0. Then, from time t = 5 s to t = 10 s, the velocity was u = +3 m/s, v = -4 m/s. A dye streak was started at a point in the flow field at time t = 0, and the path of a particle in the fluid was also traced from that same point starting at the same time. Draw to scale the streakline, pathline of the particle, and streamlines at time t = 10 s.

2. Problem-4.35: A liquid with a specific weight of 100 lbf/ft3 is in the conduit. This is a special kind of liquid that has zero viscosity. The pressures at points A and B are 170 psf and 100 psf, respectively. Which one (or more) of the following conclusions can one draw with certainty? (a) The velocity is in the positive l direction. (b) The velocity is in the negative l direction. (c) The acceleration is in the positive l direction. (d) The acceleration is in the negative l direction.

3. Problem-4.59: A water jet issues vertically from a nozzle, as shown. The water velocity as it exits the nozzle is 20 ft/s. Calculate how high h the jet will rise. (Hint: Apply the Bernoulli equation along the centerline.)

4. A glass tube with a 90o bend is open at both ends. It is inserted into a flowing stream of water so that one opening is directed upstream and the other is vertical. If the water surface in the vertical tube is 10 in. higher than the stream surface, what is the velocity?
