in this problem.

Chapter 1 Problems: Dimensions, Units, and Physical Quantities

1.14 Conservation of mass — Mass — density

Newton’s second law — Momentum — velocity
The first law of thermodynamics — internal energy — temperature

c) L3/T = [C] L2 L2/3. [C] = L3 / T L2 L2 / 3 L1/ 3 T
Note: the slope S0 has no dimensions.

2 10 5 N s/m2

2.915 kg/m3
The kinematic viscosity cannot be read from Fig. B.2; the pressure is not 100 kPa.

1.41 At equilibrium the weight of the piston is balanced by the resistive force in the oil due to
wall shear stress. This is represented by

Wpiston DL

where D is the diameter of the piston and L is the piston length. Since the gap between
the piston and cylinder is small, assume a linear velocity distribution in the oil due to the
piston motion. That is, the shear stress is

V Vpiston 0
r Dcylinder Dpiston / 2

Using Wpiston mpiston g , we can write

Vpiston
