Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Hydrostatic Law Question 2 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
Pressure Head:
The ratio of pressure intensity at a point and the specific weight of the fluid at that point is called pressure head
ressure head = \(\frac{p}{ρ{g}}\)
Hydraulic head/Piezometric head:
Hydraulic head or piezometric head is a specific measurement of liquid pressure above a vertical datum. It is usually measured.
The sum of the pressure head and datum is known theas piezometric head. It is given by:
\(\frac{p}{ρ{g}}+z\)
The total energy of a flowing fluid can be represented in terms of head, which is given by -
\(\frac{p}{ρ{g}}\;+\;\frac{V^2}{2g}\;+\;z\;\)
\(where\;\frac{p}{\rho{g}}=pressure\;head,\;\frac{V^2}{2g}=velocity\;head\;and\;z=datum\)
Hydrostatic Law Question 3:
The law which states that the rate of increase of pressure in a vertical direction is equal to weight density of the fluid at that point is called as ________.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Hydrostatic Law Question 3 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
- According to Hydrostatic Law, the rate of increase of pressure in a vertical direction is equal to the weight density of the fluid at that point when the fluid is stationary.
- The pressure at any point in a fluid at rest is obtained by the Hydrostatic Law which states that the rate of increase of pressure in a vertically downward direction must be equal to the specific weight of the fluid at that point.
\(\frac{{dP}}{{dh}} = w\) for downward direction
\(\frac{{dP}}{{dh}} = - w\) in upward direction
Thus, The rate of increase of pressure in a vertically downward direction is equal to Specific weight
Hydrostatic Law Question 4:
The relationship between pressure (p) and depth of fluid (h) in the static condition is:
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Hydrostatic Law Question 4 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
According to Hydrostatic Law, the rate of increase of pressure in a vertical direction is equal to weight density of the fluid at that point when the fluid is stationary.
The pressure at any point in a fluid at rest is obtained by the Hydrostatic Law which states that the rate of increase of pressure in a vertically downward direction must be equal to the specific weight of the fluid at that point.
\(\frac{{dP}}{{dh}} = w\) for downward direction
\(\frac{{dP}}{{dh}} = - w\) for upward direction
P = ωh
Hence, p ∝ h
Thus, pressure in a stationary water column increases with depth and varies linearly and does not depend upon viscosity.
It indicates that a negative pressure gradient exists upward along any vertical.
Hydrostatic Law Question 5:
The pressure at a point inside a liquid does not depend on which of the following?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Hydrostatic Law Question 5 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
Hydrostatic law:
In a static fluid, the pressure depends on the vertical depth from the surface and it is independent of its shape and size of the container.
The pressure at a point inside a liquid is given by,
P = ρ × g × h
Where, h = Vertical height of the fluid column, ρ = Density of the liquid and
g = Acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s2)
- According to Hydrostatic law, the pressure at a point depends upon vertical depth from the liquid surface and independent of the shape of the container in a static fluid.
- In the given containers A and B, the point P lie at the same depth d and pressure varies only in the vertical direction.
- Hence the pressure at point P is the same in both containers A and B irrespective of the shape.
Example:
Pressure in A, B, and C, h height bellow from the water surface is the same.
Hydrostatic Law Question 6:
A hydraulic jack is used to compress a spring as shown in fig. stiffness of spring is 105 N/m. By applying a pressure ‘p’ in the hydraulic cylinder, the spring gets compressed by 10 mm. The cross-sectional area of the piston is 25 cm2. The applied pressure ‘p’ is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Hydrostatic Law Question 6 Detailed Solution
Concept:
The pressure acts on the piston is, P = FA
where, F = force acts on piston, A = cross-section ara of piston
Calculation:
Given:
A = 25 cm2, k = 105 N/m, x = 10 mm = 10 × 10-3 m
Force on piston (spring)
F = kx = 105 × 10 ×10-3 = 1000 N
Now pressure force by piston = P × 25 × 10-4
On equating
P × 25 × 10-4 = 1000 N
\( \Rightarrow P = \frac{{1000}}{{25 × {{10}^4}}} = 40 × {10^4} = 4 × {10^4} = 4 × {10^5}Pa\)
Hydrostatic Law Question 7:
Point X is 10 m below the free surface of a liquid and point Y is 12 m below the free surface of the same liquid. The correct relationship for the pressure at points X and Y is _________ .
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Hydrostatic Law Question 7 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
Concept:
Hydrostatic Law: This law states that the rate of increase of pressure in the vertical direction is directly proportional to the weight density of fluid at that point.
\(\frac{dP}{dz}=\rho g\)
Note:
- In a vertically downward direction, pressure variation is taken as positive.
- In a vertically upward direction, pressure variation is taken as negative.
Absolute pressure: It is the sum of atmospheric pressure and gauge pressure.
\(P_{abs}=P_{atm}+P_{gauge}=P_{atm}+\rho gh\)
Calculation:
Given:
hX = 10 m, hY = 12 m
\(\rho_{X}=\rho_{Y}\)
So, \(P_{absX}=P_{atm}+\rho_{X}gh_{X}=P_{atm}+\rho_{X}g(10)\)
similarly, \(P_{absY}=P_{atm}+\rho_{Y}g(12)\)
The absolute pressure depends upon the distance of the point from the free surface.
\(\therefore\) \(P_{absY}>P_{absX}\)
Thus, option (1) is correct answer.
Hydrostatic Law Question 8:
Which of the following law states that the pressure applied in a confined incompressible fluid gets transmitted throughout the liquid without any change in all the directions?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Hydrostatic Law Question 8 Detailed Solution
CONCEPT:
- According to Blaise Pascal, a French scientist observed that the pressure in a fluid at rest is the same at all points if they are at the same height and it is termed Pascal’s Law.
- i.e., the pressure exerted by the fluid on an object at a certain height will be the same in all directions.
and hence it can be expressed as
\({P_a} = {P_b} = {p_c} \Rightarrow \frac{{{F_a}}}{{{A_a}}} = \frac{{{F_b}}}{{{A_b}}} = \frac{{{F_c}}}{{{A_c}}}\)
- From the above fig., we can see that the force against the area within a fluid at rest will always experience pressure perpendicular to its surface area, and the object will experience equal pressure throughout the surface.
- And there are a number of devices, such as hydraulic lifts and hydraulic brakes, which are based on Pascal’s law, these devices used fluids for transmitting pressure.
EXPLANATION:
- From the above explanation we can see that according to Pascal’s law, pressure in a fluid at rest is the same at all points if they are at the same height.
- This means option one is correct among all.
Hydrostatic Law Question 9:
Read the following statements and identify the correct answer.
Statement A: The rate of increase of pressure in a vertical direction must be equal to the specific weight of the liquid at that point.
Statement B: The viscosity of gases increases with increasing temperature.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Hydrostatic Law Question 9 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Hydrostatic Law:
- According to Hydrostatic Law, the rate of increase of pressure in a vertical direction is equal to the weight density of the fluid at that point when the fluid is stationary.
- In hydrostatic equilibrium conditions, the force exerted by the fluid is balanced by its weight.
- Maintaining the hydrostatic balance is the key concept of buoyancy.
Consider an element shown in the above figure, let the thickness of the element be dh. For equilibrium condition;
P + \(\gamma\) × Δh = P +ΔP
\(\gamma\times \Delta h =\Delta P\)
\(\gamma={\Delta P\over \Delta h}\)
The rate of increase of pressure in a vertical direction is equal to the weight density of the fluid at that point when the fluid is stationary.
Viscosity:
- Viscosity may be defined as the property of a fluid that determines its resistance to shearing stresses. It is a measure of the internal fluid friction which causes resistance to flow.
- It is primarily due to cohesion and molecular momentum exchange between fluid layers, and as flow occurs, these effects appear as shearing stresses between the moving layers of fluid.
- An ideal fluid has no viscosity. There is no fluid that can be classified as a perfectly ideal fluid.
- The viscosity of liquids decreases with temperature increases whereas the viscosity of gases increases with an increase in temperature.
- The S.I. unit of viscosity is Newton-second per square meter (N.s/m2).
- The C.G.S. unit of viscosity is dyne-second per square centimeter (\(dyne-sec\over cm^2\)) is also called poise.
- The viscosity of water at 20∘C is one centipoise.
Thus both statements are correct. Hence option (2) is correct.
Hydrostatic Law Question 10:
If barometric pressure on a mountain top is 735 mm of mercury, then the pressure (in N/m2) will be:
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Hydrostatic Law Question 10 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Pabsolute = Patmospheric + Pgauge
The pressure at any point in a static fluid is obtained by Hydro-static law which is given by-
\(\frac{dP}{dz}=-ρ{g}\)
∴ P = -ρgz
P increases when we go down (z negative) and decreases when we go up (z positive).
where P = pressure above atmospheric pressure and h = height of the point from the free surface.
Calculation:
Given:
h = 735 mm of Mercury, ρmer = 13600 Kg/m3
∴ P = ρmer × g × h
⇒ P = 13600× 9.81× 0.735 = 98060.76 N/m2
