Statement for Linked Answer Q01 & Q02
A syringe with a frictionless plunger contains water and has at its end a 100 mm long needle of 1 mm diameter. The internal diameter of the syringe is 10 mm. Water density is 1000 kg/m3. The plunger is pushed in at 10 mm/s and the water comes out as a jet.
- Assuming ideal flow, the force F in newtons required on the plunger to push out the water is
(a) 0 (b) 0.04
(c) 0.13 (d) 1.15
2. Neglect losses in the cylinder and assume fully developed laminar viscous flow throughout the needle; the Darcy friction factor is 64/Re, Where Re is the Reynolds number. Given that the viscosity of water is 1.0´10–3 kg/m s, the force F in Newton required on the plunger is
(a) 0.13 (b) 0.16
(c) 0.3 (d) 4.4
