(06

marks)
Or
Define the following
i) Density ii) viscosity iii) specific gravity iv)
Specific volume
Q2) An oil of viscosity 5 poise is used for lubrication. The shaft
diameter is 0.5m & rotates at 200rpm. Find power lost in oil for a
sleeve of length 100mm.The thickness of oil is 1mm. (09marks)
Or
The space between two square parallel plates is filled with oil. Each
side of the plate is 60cm.The thickness of the oil film is 12.5mm.The
upper plate moves at 2.5m/s requires a force of 98.1N.Find
kinematic viscosity of oil if specific gravity of oil is 0.95.
Q3) A 15cm diameter cylinder rotates concentrically inside another
cylinder of diameter 15.1.Both cylinders are 25cm high. The space
between cylinders is filled with liquid whose viscosity is unknown. If
torque of 12Nm is required to rotate inner cylinder at 100rpm.Find
viscosity of fluid. (10 marks)
Or
Determine pressure of water in the main line if difference in level of
mercury is 10 cm and free surface of mercury is in level with center
of pipe. If pressure of water in the pipe line is reduced to 10 KN/m 2
find new difference in the pressure level of mercury. Assume sp
gravity of mercury as 13.6. (10 marks)

A dash pot 10cm diameter & 12.5cm long slides vertically down in a 10.05cm
diameter cylinder. The oil filling the annular space has a viscosity of 0.80poise.Find
the speed with which the piston slides down if load on the piston is 10N.
