b. If the pressure at the top of a closed, 5-m-tall
5 tall tank filled with water to a depth of 4 m is 20 kpa,
what is the pressure at the bottom.
c. On a streamline when all assumptions necessary for Bernoulli’s equation are satisfies, how do the
following quantities vary along it. a) Stagnation pressure b) Static pressure c) Dynamic Pressure
d. What is meant by control volume approach? Explain.

Question 2
a) A long, vertical wall separates seawater from fresh water. If the seawater stands at a depth of 7
m, what depth of freshwater is required to give a zero resultant force on the wall? When the
resultant force is zero, will the moment due to the fluid forces be zero? Explain.

section of an object (having same section normal to the paper) submerged into a fluid
consists of a square of sides 2 m and triangle as shown in the figure. The object is hinged at point
P that is one meter below the fluid free surface. If the object is to be kept in the position
determine ‘x’. (Figure 1)
