Which property of a fluid determines its resistance to flow?

  1. Density

  2. Viscosity

  3. Surface tension

  4. Pressure


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Viscosity is the property of a fluid that resists its flow. It is caused by the intermolecular forces between the fluid molecules.

The pressure exerted by a fluid at a given point is known as:

  1. Hydrostatic pressure

  2. Dynamic pressure

  3. Total pressure

  4. Gauge pressure


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure exerted by a fluid at a given point due to the weight of the fluid above it.

The equation that describes the relationship between pressure, density, and height in a fluid is known as:

  1. Bernoulli's equation

  2. Pascal's law

  3. Archimedes' principle

  4. Poiseuille's equation


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Pascal's law states that pressure applied to a fluid in a closed container is transmitted equally to every point in the fluid.

The force exerted by a fluid on an object immersed in it is known as:

  1. Buoyant force

  2. Drag force

  3. Lift force

  4. Thrust force


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Buoyant force is the upward force exerted by a fluid on an object immersed in it. It is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.

The principle that states that the total energy of a fluid flowing in a pipe remains constant is known as:

  1. Bernoulli's principle

  2. Pascal's law

  3. Archimedes' principle

  4. Poiseuille's equation


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Bernoulli's principle states that the total energy of a fluid flowing in a pipe remains constant, provided there is no energy loss due to friction or other factors.

The equation that describes the relationship between flow rate, pressure drop, and resistance in a pipe is known as:

  1. Bernoulli's equation

  2. Pascal's law

  3. Archimedes' principle

  4. Poiseuille's equation


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Poiseuille's equation describes the relationship between flow rate, pressure drop, and resistance in a pipe. It is used to calculate the flow rate of a fluid through a pipe.

The phenomenon where a fluid flows in layers, with each layer moving at a different velocity, is known as:

  1. Laminar flow

  2. Turbulent flow

  3. Boundary layer flow

  4. Couette flow


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Laminar flow is a type of fluid flow in which the fluid flows in layers, with each layer moving at a different velocity. In laminar flow, the fluid particles move in smooth, parallel paths.

The phenomenon where a fluid flows in a chaotic and unpredictable manner is known as:

  1. Laminar flow

  2. Turbulent flow

  3. Boundary layer flow

  4. Couette flow


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Turbulent flow is a type of fluid flow in which the fluid flows in a chaotic and unpredictable manner. In turbulent flow, the fluid particles move in irregular and fluctuating paths.

The layer of fluid near a solid surface where the flow is affected by the surface is known as:

  1. Laminar flow

  2. Turbulent flow

  3. Boundary layer flow

  4. Couette flow


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Boundary layer flow is the layer of fluid near a solid surface where the flow is affected by the surface. In boundary layer flow, the fluid particles are slowed down by the surface and the flow becomes laminar.

The phenomenon where a fluid flows between two parallel plates with a constant velocity is known as:

  1. Laminar flow

  2. Turbulent flow

  3. Boundary layer flow

  4. Couette flow


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Couette flow is a type of fluid flow where a fluid flows between two parallel plates with a constant velocity. In Couette flow, the fluid particles move in parallel layers, with each layer moving at a different velocity.

The force exerted by a fluid on a moving object in the direction opposite to the motion is known as:

  1. Buoyant force

  2. Drag force

  3. Lift force

  4. Thrust force


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Drag force is the force exerted by a fluid on a moving object in the direction opposite to the motion. It is caused by the friction between the fluid and the object.

The force exerted by a fluid on an object in a direction perpendicular to the motion is known as:

  1. Buoyant force

  2. Drag force

  3. Lift force

  4. Thrust force


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Lift force is the force exerted by a fluid on an object in a direction perpendicular to the motion. It is caused by the difference in pressure between the two sides of the object.

The force exerted by a fluid on an object in the direction of the motion is known as:

  1. Buoyant force

  2. Drag force

  3. Lift force

  4. Thrust force


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Thrust force is the force exerted by a fluid on an object in the direction of the motion. It is caused by the acceleration of the fluid by the object.

The study of the flow of fluids in pipes and channels is known as:

  1. Hydrodynamics

  2. Fluid mechanics

  3. Hydraulics

  4. Pneumatics


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Hydraulics is the study of the flow of fluids in pipes and channels. It is a branch of fluid mechanics that deals with the practical applications of fluid flow.

The study of the flow of gases is known as:

  1. Hydrodynamics

  2. Fluid mechanics

  3. Hydraulics

  4. Pneumatics


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Pneumatics is the study of the flow of gases. It is a branch of fluid mechanics that deals with the practical applications of gas flow.
