Question

A ship floating in sea water displaces 108 m3 of water. Determine the weight of the ship and also the weight per litre of the sea water, if sea water has a specific gravity of 1.1. Find the viscosity of a sea water having kinematic viscosity 8 stokes. The above sea water velocity distribution is given by u = in which ‘u’ is the velocity in metre per second at a distance y metre above plate. Determine the speed of flow at y = 120 mm, y = 180 mm & y = 240 mm. Draw a neat sketch of velocity profile based on obtained results and justify it.
