Chapter 7, Problem 58P
When a sphere of 0.25 mm diameter and specific gravity 5.54 is dropped in water at 25°C it will attain a constant velocity of 0.07 m/s. What specific gravity must a 2.5 mm sphere have so that when it is dropped in crude oil at 25°C the two flows will be dynamically similar when the terminal velocity is attained?

A cylindrical machine part moves within a surrounding cylinder. The centrelines of the part and the surrounding cylinder are coincident. The cylinder is full of an oil (viscosity
0.25kg/ms) that is not flowing i.e. no pressure gradient is applied. What is the value of the viscous force exerted on the machine part as it moves along the cylinder at a speed of
9m/s?
• The machine part is 0.06m long and has a radius of 0.041m.
• The ratio of the machine part radius to the cylinder radius is 0.98.
• Assume that the flow is dominated by viscous forces.
• Give your answer as an absolute value i.e. no negative sign, in Newtons to one decimal place.

The gap between a moving plate of height H and a stationary wall is filled with an incompressible
liquid with density pliq. The plate is pushed to the right at a constant speed Vplate. At the bottom
sliding joint, there is a seal to prevent leakage. The gap width x and the liquid height y are
continuously changing with time. The length dimension L into the page is constant.
