4 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define shear stress in the context of fluid mechanics.
Consider how forces act within the fluid.
What does the dynamic viscosity represent?
Think of how easily a fluid flows.
What is the formula for hydrostatic pressure?
Think about how pressure changes as you go deeper in water.
True or False: Surface tension does not affect capillary rise.
Remember the role of surface tension in raising liquids.
Calculate the net force on a triangular gate submerged in water with a base of 3m and height of 2m. Assume density of water is 1000 kg/m^3.
Remember to use the triangular pressure distribution formula.
Analyze the stability of a floating cylinder with a radius of 0.5m and height of 2m. Water is the fluid. What parameters do you need to check?
Consider using the formulas for buoyant force and applying the conditions of stability.
