Water is being pumped into a pool whose cross section is 10 ft x 13 ft while water is discharged through a 2-in-diameter orifice at a constant average velocity of 16 ft/sec. If the water level in the pool rises at a rate of 0.6 in./min, determine (a) the rate of increase in volume (ft3 /min) of water in pool and (b) the rate at which water is supplied to the pool, in gpm.
The average velocity in a circular was 5 m/s. What is the maximum velocity if the flow is laminar.

QUESTION 5 Q2. Two water pipelines converge into one line of 2.5m diameter. a). What is the velocity of water flowing in the converged line if the discharges and diameters of the converging lines are 1 m3/s with an 800mm pipe and 0.5 m³/s with a 500mm pipe? (m/s) b). What is the mass flowrate under these conditions? (kg/s) c). What percentage change in velocity would there be in the converged pipe if the diameter of the pipe was reduced by 20%? Take the density of water to be 103 kg/m3. Part a). is denoted Q5, part b). as Q6 and part c). as Q7
Considering an open tank 2.75-ft diameter with 2.9-ft water when at rest. If the tank is rotated w=168 rpm, what should be the height of the tank to avoid spillage?
A cannon ball is fired at an angle of 60° from the ground to a 50-meter building which is 120 meters away from the cannon. What should be the range of its initial velocity so that it will not miss the building?
An open rectangular tank mounted on a truck is 5 meters long and 1 meters wide. It is filled with water to a depth of 2.77 meters. If it is accelerated at 10.05 m/s2 along its length, determine the required height (in meters) of the tank to prevent any water from spilling. Round off to two decimal places.
A tank is going to be installed at the top of a hill to serve an industrial park located at the base of the hill. The bottom of the tank is estimated to be 200 ft above the point of connection to the water main in the industrial park served by the elevated tank. It is further estimated that the pipe from the tank to the centre of the industrial park will be 500 ft in length including equivalent lengths for fittings and valves. What is the maximum water flow that would be available at the centre of the industrial park if the pipe material is lined ductile iron (Hazen- Williams C-factor of 140) with an actual inside diameter of 8.27 in.? Note that no other pressure producing devices, such as pumps, will be used.
