Fluid Mechanics Assignment Help

The document contains three problems related to fluid mechanics. Problem 1 involves calculating pressures and forces on a partially submerged structure. Problem 2 looks at determining the force needed to lift a weight using a hydraulic jack. Problem 3 examines an air cushion vehicle, calculating the pressure, velocity, and airflow required to support its weight. The problems involve applying principles of fluid statics, hydraulics, and incompressible flow.

Fluid Mechanics

Problem 1.

A structure of length P = 4.0 and height h = 2.0 m is cantilevered into a still


body of water, A, = 1000 kg/m3. as shown in the accompanying sketch.
The entire interior of the structure is filled with trapped air, = 1.2 kg/m3
(the ends are closed off) and the free surface of the water body is located a
distance of d = 0.5 m below the "lid" of the structure. The width of the
structure. b. in the direction into the paper. is so large that it is allowable to
treat the problem as two-dimensional, i.e. evaluate quantities depending on
the width b in terms of per unit width".

a) Determine the pressure of the trapped air. PO.

b) Determine the total pressure force, Ph, on the vertical side of the
structure, BC. its direction and its line of action.

c) Determine the total pressure force, Ft., on the horizontal lid of the
structure, AB, its direction, and its line of action.

d) Determine the total force. F. and moment, M, exerted the structure's


support. A. (Consider the structure itself to be weightless.)

Problem 2.

The sketch above illustrates the principle of a hydraulic jack carrying
a weight of W = 10 IN (kiloNewton = 10 Newton). With the
dimensions shown in the sketch determine the force F that must be
applied at the handle in order to support the weight W (neglect the
weight of pistons, oil and handle assembly).

Problem 3.

An air-cushion vehicle is supported by a fan forcing air into a chamber


created by a skirt around the periphery of the vehicle as illustrated in the
sketch. The air escapes from the chamber through narrow slots between
the skirt and the water or ground surface. Assume air to be an
incompressible fluid (p = 1.2 kg/m3), the vehicle to have a weight of 50
kN and to be essential of rectangular shape with dimensions 10 by 20 m,
and that the air chamber is sufficiently large to justify the neglect of any
air velocities in the chamber away from the skirts.

a) Determine the necessary pressure in the air chamber to support the
weight of the vehicle.

b) Determine the velocity of the airflow through the slots beneath the
skirts of the vehicle.

c) Determine the airflow rate (in m3/s) to be provided by the fan if the
slots are h = 5 cm in height.
