Question | Answer |
---|---|
What does the area of the pressure diagram equal? | On a plane, rectangular, vertical surface, force per metre width |
What does the bottom of the pressure diagram equal? | density x g x h |
How can the pressure force be determined by the pressure triangle? | density x g x Area |
Hydrostatic force on a plane surface (F) = ?? | F = density x g x ybar x A |
The slope distance from the top of the water to the centre of pressure (where the force acts) l' = ?? | l' = Ig/AxLbar + Lbar |
What does the Ig stand for in hydraulics? | Second moment of area |
What is upthrust equal to? | Weight of the water displaced = weight of a floating object |
What are the names given to the four different types of flow? | Uniform steady Uniform unsteady Non-uniform steady Non-uniform unsteady |
How do you calculate the efficiency of a pump? | power to water / power supplied |
How do you calculate the efficiency of a turbine? | power generated / power from water |
