SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(b)
Sol. Height of capillary rise in a tube is given by
▭(h=σcosθ/(dγ_(w ) ))
▭(h∝1/d)
So, for fine grained soil effective size ‘d’ is smaller so it will experience more capillary rise.
S2. Ans.(a)
Sol. Given, Dynamic viscosity (μ)=0.0034 (N-sec)/m^2
Specific gravity (G)=1.3
We know,
G=(densityi of fluid(ρ))/(Density of water(ρω) )
1.3=ρ/1000
▭(ρ=1300 kg\/m^3 )
Kinematic viscosity (ν)=(Dynamic viscosity (μ))/Density(ρ)
=0.0034/1300
ν=2.615×10^(-6) m^2/Sec
S3. Ans.(d)
Sol. Specific speed of a centrifugal pump is given by-
▭(N_s=(N√Q)/(H_m )^(3\/4) )
Where N_s= specific speed
N= Rotating speed rpm
Q= Capacity at optimum efficiency
H_m= Total head developed at optimum efficiency point
S4. Ans.(b)
Sol. Adhesion → It is an attractive force between different kind of fluid molecules.
Cohesion → It is an attractive force between same kind of fluid molecules.
S5. Ans.(d)
Sol. given, stream function Ψ = (x²-y²)
Magnitude of absolute velocity at point (1, 1) = ?
Now,
V_x=∂Ψ/∂y
V_x= -2y
▭(〖V_x〗_((1,1) )= -2)
V_y=(-∂Ψ)/∂x
V_y= -2x
▭(〖V_y〗_1,1= -2)
V=√((V_x )^2+(V_y )^2 )
=√((-2)^2+(-2)^2 )
=√8
▭(V=2√2)
S6. Ans.(b)
Sol. When a body is partially or completely submerged in fluid then it experiences a force in vertical upward direction called as buoyancy force and the center of gravity of the volume of liquid displaced is called center of buoyance.
S7. Ans.(a)
Sol. Given, alternate depths
y_1=0.4 m.
y_2=1.6 m.
Specific energy is given by
▭(E=(y_1^2+y_1 y_2+y_2^2)/(y_1+y_2 ))
E=((0.4)^2+(0.4×1.6)+(1.6)^2)/(0.4+1.6)
=3.36/2
▭(E=1.68 m)
S8. Ans.(a)
Sol. The relation between manning’s and chezy’s coefficient are
▭(C=1/n R^(1\/6) )
C = Chezy’s coefficient
n = manning’s coefficient
R = Hydraulic radius
S9. Ans.(b)
Sol. In three dimensional flow, the equation of a streamline is given by –
▭(dx/u=dy/v=dz/w)
For 2D flow,
▭(dx/u=dy/v)
S10. Ans.(b)
Sol. Spherical shape of droplets of mercury is due to high surface tension because due to surface tension, it will try to minimize its surface area and mathematically sphere has minimum surface area.
