Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1.3P
For the triangular element in Fig, P1.3,show that a tilted free liquid surface, in contact with an atmosphere at pressure pa, must undergo shear stress and hence begin to flow. Hint: Account for the weight of the fluid and show that a no-shear condition will cause horizontal forces to be out of balance.

P1.59 A solid cylinder of diameter D, length L, and density Ps
falls due to gravity inside a tube of diameter Do. The clear-
ance, Do - D<< D, is filled with fluid of density p and
viscosity µ. Neglect the air above and below the cylinder.
Derive a formula for the terminal fall velocity of the cylin-
der. Apply your formula to the case of a steel cylinder,
D = 2 cm, Do = 2.04 cm, L = 15 cm, with a film of SAE
%3D
30 oil at 20°C.
In Fig. 1.7, if the fluid is glycerin at 20 ° C and the widthbetween plates is 6 mm, what shear stress (in Pa) isrequired to move the upper plate at 5.5 m/s? What is theReynolds number if L is taken to be the distance betweenplates?
3. Supposed that air (std.) has a uniform density of 1.2kg/m^3, estimate how high (meters) above the sea level where there exists a zero pressure. Assume that in the
given condition, barometric pressure at sea level is 101.325 kPa. Include also the free body diagram or figure of the problem, and your findings after solving it.
