SOLUTION
S1. Ans.(b)
Sol. Newton’s law states that the shear stress is directly proportional to the rate of shear strain for Newtonian fluid.
τ α dv/dy
▭(τ=μ.dv/dy)
S2. Ans.(d)
Sol. For Newtonian fluid there is constant viscosity for different fluid at particular temp which resist the deformation without any influence of shear stress.
In other word dynamic viscosity is constant for particular fluid at particular temp.
S3. Ans.(b)
Sol. Surface tension – It is the property of fluid which enables that it will resist external tensile stress because of cohesive forces of molecules of a fluid.
S4. Ans.(c)
Sol. A fluid is defined as one which deforms continuously when subjected to shear stress.
S5. Ans.(c)
Sol. Piezometer is a device which is used to measure low pressure it can only measure pressure of liquid only and not able to measure for gas. It could not able to measure pressure below ambient I.e. vacuum pressure.
S6. Ans.(c)
Sol.
S7. Ans.(a)
Sol. P = (ρ×g)×h
= specific weight × height
S8. Ans.(c)
Sol.
S9. Ans.(b)
Sol.
S10. Ans.(d)
Sol. Gradually varied flow is steady non-uniform flow with the condition that depth will be constant because there is no change in velocity with respect to time.
