Hydraulics Lecture Notes 1 - Problem Exercises

This document contains lecture notes on hydraulics principles and 10 practice problems related to hydrostatics. The problems cover topics like determining height from pressure differences, calculating pressures and elevations at different points, and finding required forces or heights given various hydraulic system configurations involving liquids with different densities, pistons, reservoirs and more. The goal is to calculate unknown values by applying principles of hydrostatics and relationships between pressure, depth, density and other factors for submerged objects and confined liquids.

LECTURE NOTES 1 – HYDRAULICS

PRINCIPLES OF HYDROSTATICS

Problem 1:

At sea level a mercury barometer reads 750 mm and at


the same time on the top of the mountain another
mercury barometer reads 745 mm. The temperature of
the air is assumed at 15 ºC and its specific weight is
assumed uniform at 12 N/m^3. Determine the height of
the mountain.

Problem 2: Problem 5:

Calculate the pressure, in kPa, at A, B, C, and D. In the figure, x=25 cm initially. If the pressure at m is
increased by 35 kPa while maintain the pressure at n
constant, calculate the new value of x.

Problem 3:

Three liquids are placed on the tank with specific gravity


of 0.75, 1.0 and 1.5 as shown in the figure. Determine
the elevation of the liquid surface in each piezometer.
Problem 6:

The hydraulic jack shown is filled with oil at 805 kg/m^3.


Neglecting the weight of the two pistons, calculate the
force F on the handle required to support the W.

Problem 4:

Determine the pressure difference in the figure shown.


Problem 7:

A force 460 N is exerted on lever AB, as shown. End B is


connected to a piston which fits into a cylinder having a
diameter of 60 mm. What force acts on the larger piston,
if the volume between C and D is filled with water.

Problem 8:

If the water pressure in the pipe at A is to bE 25 kPa,


determine the required height h of water in the
reservoir. Mercury in tube pipe has the elevation
shown. Use s.g. of mercury of 13.6. Neglect
diameter of the pipe.

Problem 9:

The two tanks A and B are connected using a


manometer. lf waste oil is poured into tank A to a
depth of h = 1.25 m, determine the pressure of the
trapped air in the tank B. Air is also trapped in line
kg kg
CD as shown. Use ρo = 900 m3 , ρw= 1000 m3 .

Problem 10:

A glass tube 1.6 m long and having a diameter of 2.5


cm is inserted vertically into a tank of oil (s.g. = 0.80)
with open end down and closed end uppermost. If
the open end is submerged 1.30 m from the oil
surface, determine the height to which the oil will rise
in the tube. Assume barometric pressure is 100 kPa
and neglect vapor pressure.
