Give reason for the following: (a) Machine parts get jammed in the winters. (b) A constant driving force is always required for the maintenance of the flow of oil through pipe lines in the refineries. (c) Velocity of water in a river is less near the banks and more in the middle.

The velocity of water near a river's surface is 20 km/hr. If the depth of the river is 4 m, calculate the shearing stress between the horizontal layers of water. Take, coefficient of viscosity of water = 0.01 poise.

    The velocity if a swimmer (v) in stil water is less than the velocity of water (u) in a river. Show that the swimmer must aim himself at an angles cos^-1 (v//u) with upstream in order to cross the river along the shortest possible path. Find thr drifting (distance moved along the direction of stream in crossing the river) of the swimmer along this shortest possible path.

    A swimmer crosses the river along the line making an angle of 45^@ with the direction of flow. Velocity of the river water is 5(m)/(s) . Swimmer takes 12 seconds to cross the river of width 60 m. The velocity of the swimmer with respect to water will be:

    We know that when a boat travels in water, its net velocity w.r.t. ground is the vector sum of two velocities. First is the velocity of boat itself in river and other is the velocity of water w.r.t. ground. Mathematically: vecv_(boat) = vecv_(boat,water) + vecv_(water) . Now given that velocity of water w.r.t. ground in a river is u. Width of the river is d. A boat starting from rest aims perpendicular to the river with an acceleration of a = 5t, where t is time. The boat starts from point (1,0) of the coordinate system as shown in figure. Assume SI units.
