Consider the cylindrical weir of diameter \(3 \mathrm{m}\) and length \(6 \mathrm{m} .\) If the fluid on the left has a specific gravity of \(1.6,\) and on the right has a specific gravity of \(0.8,\) find the magnitude and direction of the resultant force.
Compare the height due to capillary action of water exposed to air in a circular tube of diameter \(D=0.5 \mathrm{mm}\) and between two infinite vertical parallel plates of gap \\[ a=0.5 \mathrm{mm} \\].
A door \(1 \mathrm{m}\) wide and \(1.5 \mathrm{m}\) high is located in a plane vertical wall of a water tank. The door is hinged along its upper edge, which is \(1 \mathrm{m}\) below the water surface. Atmospheric pressure acts on the outer surface of the door. (a) If the pressure at the water surface is atmospheric, what force must be applied at the lower edge of the door in order to keep the door from opening? (b) If the water surface gage pressure is raised to 0.5 atm, what force must be applied at the lower edge of the door to keep the door from opening? (c) Find the ratio \(F / F_{0}\) as a function of the surface pressure ratio $$p_{s} / p_{\text {atm }^{*}}\left(F_{0}\right.$$ is the force required when \(\left.p_{s}=p_{\text {atm }} .\right)\)
Consider a small-diameter open-ended tube inserted at the interface between two immiscible fluids of different densities. Derive an expression for the height difference \(\Delta h\) between the interface level inside and outside the tube in terms of tube diameter \(D,\) the two fluid densities \(\rho_{1}\) and \(\rho_{2},\) and the surface tension \(\sigma\) and angle \(\theta\) for the two fluids' interface. If the two fluids are water and mercury, find the height difference if the tube diameter is 40 mils \((1 \mathrm{mil}=0.001 \text { in. })\).
Cast iron or steel molds are used in a horizontalspindle machine to make tubular castings such as liners and tubes. A charge of molten metal is poured into the spinning mold. The radial acceleration permits nearly uniformly thick wall sections to form. A steel liner, of length \(L=6 \mathrm{ft}\), outer radius \(r_{o}=6\) in. and inner radius \(r_{i}=4\) in., is to be formed by this process. To attain nearly uniform thickness, the angular velocity should be at least 300 rpm. Determine (a) the resulting radial acceleration on the inside surface of the liner and (b) the maximum and minimum pressures on the surface of the mold.
