Problem 1.

A cylindrical vessel of radius 0.1 meter is filled with water to a height of 0.5 meter. It has a capillary tube 0.15 meter long and 0.0002 meter radius fixed horizontally at its bottom. Find the time in which the water level will fall to a height of 0.2 meter.

Solution

Problem 2.

Calculate the amount of energy needed to break a drop of water of diameter 0.001 meter into 1000000 droplets of equal sizes. The surface tension of water is 0.0072 N/m.

Solution

Problem 3.

A force F is applied on a square plate of side L. If the percentage error in determination of L is 3% and that in F is 4%. what is the permissible error in pressure?

Solution

Problem 4.

(Physics for scientists and engineers - Serway and Jewett - Chapter 12 - Problem 31)

A walkway suspended across a hotel lobby is supported at numerous points along its edges by a vertical cable above each point and a vertical column underneath. The steel cable is 1.27 cm in diameter and is 5.75 m long before loading. The aluminum column is a hollow cylinder with an inside diameter of 16.14 cm, an outside diameter of 16.24 cm, and unloaded length of 3.25 m. When the walkway exerts a load force of 8500 N  on one of the support points, how much does the point move down?
