A straight 100 m long raw water gravity main is to
carry water from an intake structure to the jack well of a
water treatment planet. The required flow through this
water main is 0.21 m³/s. Allowable velocity through the
main is 0.75 m/s. Assume f = 0.01, g = 9.81 m/s². The
minimum gradient (in cm/100 m length) to the given to
this gravity main so that the required amount of water
flows without any difficulty is
