Chapter 6, Problem 6RQ
  1. 6. Neglect the weight of the drum in the following problem. A sealed cylindrical drum has a diameter of 6 feet and a length of 12 feet. The drum is filled exactly half-full of a liquid having a density of 90 pounds-mass per cubic foot. It is resting on its side at the bottom of a 10-foot-deep drainage channel that is empty. Suppose a flash flood suddenly raises the water level in the channel to a depth of 10 feet. Determine if the drum will float. The density of water is 62 pounds-mass per cubic foot.

PROBLEM 4 An open cylindrical tank 4 ft In diameter and 6 ft deep is filled with water up to its rim and rotated about its axis at 60 rpm. (a) What is the height, h, of the parabolold formed? Express the answer In ft. (b) How much water remained in the tank? Express the answer In ft². (c) How much water is spilled? Express the answer in ft². (d) What is the maximum pressure (psf) at the bottom of the tank? (e) What is the minimum pressure (psf) at the bottom of the tank?
5. At a particular temperature, the surface tension of water is 0.73 N/m. Under ideal conditions, the contact angle between glass and water is zero. A student in a laboratory observes water 0. 1mm. What is the theoretical height of the capillary rise? in a glass capillary tube with a diameter of
A structure contains a volume of water, as shown in Figure 1 below. The valve at the bottom of the chamber is opened into a pneumatic chamber. Liquid partially fills the pneumatic chamber as shown. Calculate the pressure inside the pneumatic chamber and calculate the original height of water needed to induce this pressure. (Note that the size of the connecting channel is negligible and can be ignored). а Structure Depth: 6mm 12mm 25mm 4mm 12mm Figure 1
