Assignment Problem 8.2: Poiseuille flow application to a cylinder-Apply the equation for the pressure drop between 2 plates to a cylindrical thin gap A large mass is supported by a piston of diameter D = 4in and length L = 4 in. The piston sits inside a cylinder that is closed at the bottom and the gap between the cylinder and the piston is a = 0.0001 in. The gap is filled with SAE 10 oil at 68°F. The piston slowly sinks due to the mass. The oil is forced out of the gap at a rate of 0.1 gpm. What is the mass of the large mass in slugs.
