Exercise 1. Find the force exerted on the bottom of an aquarium, having a base of 0.6 m by 0.3 m, filled with water to a depth of 0.3 m. 2. Express the normal (in unit Pa) : a. Systolic blood pressure of 120 mm Hg b. Diastolic blood pressure of 80 mm Hg. ( 3. Determine the absolute pressure in a swimming pool at the depth of: a. 1.5 m b. 3.3 m 4. a) The smaller piston of a hydraulic lifts is of cross-sectional area of 0.01 m2. Determine the force applied to the piston if the larger piston of cross-sectional area 0.4 m2 exerts an upward force of 10 kN. b) Determine the force on the smaller piston in question 4 (a) if the frictional resistance that acts on this piston is 30 n and that on the larger piston is 1000 N. 5. A rubber ball floats with 20% of its volume above the surface of water. When it is transferred into a beaker of oil, only 87% of its volume is above the oil surface. Find: a. The density of the rubber ball b. The density of the oil 6. The cross-sectional area of the first and second sections of the pipe shown in the following figure is 0.04 m2 and 0.02 m2 respectively. A liquid of density 700 kg m-3 flows through the first section at a mass flow rate of 25 kg s-1. Find the speed of flow of the fluid in both sections of the pipe.

Density of the material 8. a) Define Youngs Modulus b) A metal rod of 8.0 mm diameter and 50 cm length is stretched by forces of various magnitudes. The stress versus strain graph of the wire is as shown in the following figure:

i. ii. iii. iv. v.

Answers 1. 5.30 x 103 N 2. 1.60 x 104 Pa 3. a) 1.16 x 105 Pa b) 1.33 x 105 Pa 4. a) 250 N b) 255 N 5. a) 800 kg m-3 b) 920 kg m-3 6. v1 = 0.9 m s-1 v2 = 1.8 m s-1 7. a) 0.28 N b) 180 kg m-3 8. b) i. 4 x 109 N m-2 ii. 14.1 kN iii. 0.035 m iv. .. 9. Steel. Consider steel and rubber has equal length and cross-sectional area. Same force is applied. So, strain rubber is more and its elasticity is less. Thus steel more elastic. 10. Youngs modulus of steel is more. With in the elastic limit, steel can bear large tension. Also steel recovers its original state quickly. 11. High temperature, greater viscosity, slower terminal velocity and vice versa.
