Solution:

A tank has a height of 15 m. One-third of the tank is filled with mercury, and the rest is filled with water. What is the pressure at the bottom of the tank if the fluid is stationary? (Take the density of mercury as 13.6 × 10^3 kg/m³)

Solution:

A block of aluminum having a mass of 12 kg is suspended by a wire and lowered until submerged into a tank containing oil with a relative density of 0.8. Taking the relative density of aluminum as 2.4, the tension in the wire will be (g = 9.8 m/s²).

Solution:

Find the rate of change of depth of water in a rectangular channel of 10m width and 1.5m deep when the water is flowing with a velocity of 1m/s. The flow of water through the channel with a bed slope of 1 in 4000 is regulated such that the energy line has a slope of 4 × 10-5.

Solution:

The types of equilibrium for a floating body are:

1. Stable equilibrium

2. Unstable equilibrium

3. Neutral equilibrium


Two parameters, "metacentre" and "centre of gravity", are used to describe the equilibrium of a floating body. Their conditions are:

a. Metacentre lies above the centre of gravity

b. Metacentre lies below the centre of gravity

c. Metacentre coincides with the centre of gravity


Match the appropriate conditions with the type of equilibrium and choose the correct answer.
