SSC JE 2023 (Mechanical)-Fluid Mechanics: Expected Questions

Fluid Mechanics-Pressure and its Measurement    

1.       A sudden fall in the barometer reading is a sign of approaching……..

          (a)   fine weather       (b)    rains

          (c)   storm                     (d)    cold wave

Ans. (c)

i)    A sudden fall in the barometer reading is a sign of approaching storm.

ii)   Slowly fall in the reading of barometer is a sign of approaching rains.

iii)        Slowly rise in the barometer reading is a sign of approaching fine weather

2.       Total absolute pressure is

          (a)  greater than atmospheric pressure + gauge pressure

          (b)  equal to atmospheric pressure + gauge pressure

           (c)  greater than atmospheric pressure – absolute pressure

          (d)  equal to atmospheric pressure – absolute pressure

Ans. (b) :

Absolute pressure – It is the pressure measured from absolute vacuum.

Gauge Pressure – It is the pressure measured with measuring instrument above atm.

Vacuum pressure – It is the of pressure measured below atmospheric pressure

3.       A differential manometer is used to measure 

          (a)  atmospheric pressure.

          (b)  pressure in pipes and channels.

           (c)  pressure in venturimeter.

          (d)  difference of pressures between two points in a pipe.

Ans. (d) : Differential manometers are used to measure the difference of pressures between two points in a pipe or in two different pipes.

It is also used to determine from pressure gradients the levels of liquids and the flow rates of liquids, vapours, or gases

4.       Which one of the following laws is applicable to a hydraulic lift?

          (a)   Kirchhoff’s law

          (b)   Pascal’s law

          (c)   Archimede’s principle

         (d)             Newton law

Ans -b

Application of Pascal’s Law–

· Hydraulic press & hydraulic jack

· Breaking system of motor vehicles

· Hydraulic crane

5.       Piezometer are used to measure ……………

          (a)  velocity of the flow

          (b)  gauge pressure 

           (c)  temperature

          (d)  viscosity of the fluid

Ans. (b) : Piezometer- It is the simplest form of manometer used for measuring gauge pressure (P_g = P_abs – P_atm).

* One end of piezometer connected to pipe and other end open to atmosphere. 

·    Piezometer cannot be used for pressure measurement in pipe when flowing fluid is gas.

·    It is used for measure low and molerate pressure head.

·    It can not measure vacuum (–ve) pressure.
