As part of a development programme, scale model tests have been carried out on a new hydraulic machine. The experimental team have presented the following data. Thrust force F (MLT-2), the flow velocity v, viscosity µ (ML-1T-1) and density ρ of the fluid. A typical size of the system, l, is also given. Use dimensional analysis to find the formula that relate F to the other given quantities.

(a) As blood passes through the capillary bed in an organ, the capillaries join to form venules (small veins). If the blood speed increases by a factor of 4.00 and the total cross-sectional area of the venules is 10.0 cm2, what is the total cross-sectional area of the capillaries feeding these venules? (b) How many capillaries are involved if their average diameter is 10.0 m?
(a) Using Bernoulli's equation, show that be measured fluid speed v for a pitot tube, like the one in figure 14.32(b), is given by v=( 2gh)1/h , where h is be height of be manometer fluid, p' is the density of the manometer fluid, p is the density of the moving fluid, and g is be acceleration due to gravity. (Note that v is indeed proportional to the square root of h, as stated in text) (b) Calculate v for moving air if a mercury manometer's h is 0.200 m. Figure 14.32 Measurement of fluid speed on Bernoulli’s principle. (a) A manometer is connected to two tubes close together and small enough not to disturb the flow. Tube 1 is open at the end facing the flow. A dead spot having zero speed is created there. Tube 2 has an opening on the side, so the fluid has a speed v across; thus, pressure there drops. The difference in pressure at the manometer is 12v22 , so h is proportional to . 12v22 (b) This type of velocity measuring device is a Prandtl tube, also known as a pitot tube.

If a liquid is contained in a tank, pressure at the bottom of a tank is given by: p= pgh, where p is the density of the liquid, g is the acceleration due to gravity, h is the depth of the liquid. Determine the dimension of pressure p, as well as its base units.
Activity 1: A) If the volume of a liquid (V) flowing out per second of a pipe of length 1 and radius ris written by a student as: pxr4 V = 8 xl' , where p is the pressure difference between the two ends of the pipe and n is the coefficient of viscosity of the liquid having the dimensional formula [ML-¹T-¹]. Check if the equation of volume is dimensionally correct or not. Hint: n has the dimensional formula of [ML-¹T-¹]. B) Find the dimension for [B] and [y] that makes the following formula dimensionally correct: Y x² (Knowing that t = time, F = force, v = velocity, x = distance). t² = Fv+

An aquatic organism needs to be neutrally buoyant to stay at a constant depth. Fish accomplish this with an internal swim bladder they can fill with air that they take in from the water through their gills. One complication is that the pressure in the swim bladder matches that of the surrounding water, but the water pressure changes with depth. Because the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to pressure (as you may already know if you have studied the ideal-gas law), the volume of air in a fish's swim bladder decreases with depth unless the fish actively adds more air.
A straightforward method of finding the density of an object is to measure its mass and then measure its volume by submerging it in a graduated cylinder. What is the density (in g/cm3) of a 260 grock that displaces 75.0 cm3 of water? (Note that the accuracy and practical applications of this technique are more limited than a variety of others that are based on Archimedes' principle.) g/cm3
