Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What is the primary reason shear stress is zero in a resting fluid?

  • It acts parallel to the surface
  • It is a function of velocity
  • Fluid is not in motion

💡 Hint: Think about the conditions required for shear to occur.

Question 2

True or False: Gauge pressure is always positive.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider what happens at low pressure levels.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A fluid at rest has a gauge pressure of 30 kPa at a depth of 2 m. Calculate the absolute pressure considering atmospheric pressure is 101.3 kPa.

💡 Hint: Remember to sum both pressures to find the absolute pressure.

Question 2

Using the Taylor series, approximate the pressure at a point P(3, 2, 1) knowing P(2, 2, 1) = 100 kPa and the pressure gradient in the x direction is 5 kPa/m.

💡 Hint: Consider how Taylor series expansions function when calculating nearby point values.
