Problem (1):
A fluid that occupies a volume of 24 L weighs 225 N at a location where the gravitational acceleration is 9.80
m/s2. Determine the mass of this fluid and its density.

Problem (2):
A 100-L container is filled with 1 kg of air at a temperature of 27°C. What is the pressure in the container?

Problem (3):
The pressure in an automobile tire depends on the temperature of the air in the tire. When the air temperature
is 25°C, the pressure gage reads 210 kPa. If the volume of the tire is 0.025 m3, determine the pressure rise in
the tire when the air temperature in the tire rises to 50°C. Also, determine the amount of air that must be bled
off to restore pressure to its original value at this temperature. Assume the atmospheric pressure to be 100 kPa.

Problem (4):
A frictionless piston-cylinder device contains 10 kg of water at 20°C at atmospheric pressure. An external
force F is then applied on the piston until the pressure inside the cylinder increases to 100 atm. Assuming the
coefficient of compressibility of water remains unchanged during the compression; estimate the energy needed
to compress the water isothermally.

Problem (5):
A thin 30-cm × 30-cm flat plate is pulled at 3 m/s horizontally through a 3.6-mm-thick oil layer sandwiched
between two plates, one stationary and the other moving at a constant velocity of 0.3 m/s, as shown in Figure.
The dynamic viscosity of the oil is 0.027 Pa.s. Assuming the velocity in each oil layer to vary linearly, (a) plot
the velocity profile and find the location where the oil velocity is zero and (b) determine the force that needs
to be applied on the plate to maintain this motion.

Problem (6):
A large plate is pulled at a constant speed of U = 4 m/s over a fixed plate on 5-mm-thick engine oil film at
20°C. Assuming a half-parabolic velocity profile in the oil film, as sketched, determine the shear stress
developed on the upper plate and its direction. What would happen if a linear velocity profile were assumed?

Problem (7):
A thin plate moves between two parallel, horizontal, stationary flat surfaces at a constant velocity of 5 m/s.
The two stationary surfaces are spaced 4 cm apart, and the medium between them is filled with oil whose
viscosity is 0.9 N.s/m2. The part of the plate immersed in oil at any given time is 2-m long and 0.5-m wide. If
the plate moves through the mid-plane between the surfaces, determine the force required to maintain this
motion. What would your response be if the plate was 1 cm from the bottom surface (h2) and 3 cm from the
top surface (h1)?

Problem (8):
A 50-cm × 30-cm × 20-cm block weighing 150 N is to be moved at a constant velocity of 0.80 m/s on an
inclined surface with a friction coefficient of 0.27. (a) Determine the force F that needs to be applied in the
horizontal direction. (b) If a 0.40-mm-thick oil film with a dynamic viscosity of 0.012 Pa.s is applied between
the block and inclined surface, determine the percent reduction in the required force.

All of the best
