FM1 - Task2-2021 Chapter 2 Static Fluid

The document discusses two tasks related to fluid mechanics. The first task involves calculating the inclination angle for a manometer tube so that the liquid deflection is five times larger than a regular U-tube manometer. The second task involves calculating the force on a stop at the bottom of a quarter-cylinder concrete gate on a large water container.

Task 2 – Collaborative Learning

MS2220 Basic Fluid Mechanics, 2021

1. A manometer with a tube inclined at θ degrees from the horizontal line, as shown in the following
figure. The large (D) and small (d) tube diameters are 100 and 8 mm. If the liquid deflection L must
be five times larger than the total deflection of a regular U-tube manometer, what is inclination
θ should be?

2. A large water container is equipped with a quarter-cylinder gate made of concrete (R = 3 m).
The gate, which is hinged at A and sealed at B, has the same width as the container, 2 m. The
distance between the water surface and the bottom of the gate is 5 m. By calculating the
forces on the gate, determine the force on the stop at B.
