A vertical angle of -12°25' is measured to the top of a water tank from an instrument set up on a hill 585.00 meters away from it. The telescope of the instrument is 1.45m above the ground whose elevation is 462.73m. Making due allowance for the earth's curvature and atmospheric refraction, determine the elevation of the base of the water tank if the tank is 32.0 m high.

2] A pipe discharges 130 lps of water into a reservoir at a point 1.85 m belowthe water surface. At point A the diameter is 25.4 cm and the center of the pipe is 1.25m above the water surface. At the discharge end the pipe is 30.5 cm. If the head lossfrom A to the reservoir is 0.7 m, determine the pressure in A.
A single -acting reciprocal pump lifts a liquid of specific weight 7.50 kN/m³ from a pressurised storeage reservoir to an overhead container. The free surface in the supply reservoir is at an elevation of 5.0 m above the centre of the pump. The ambient pressure over the liquid surface in the supply resevoir is 20 kN/m². The other relevant data relating to the pump are as follows: Length of suction pipe = 5.0 m Crank Speed= 60 rpm Diameter of suction pipe = 10 cm Length of Stroke = 40 cm Diameter of cylinder = 20 cm Atmospheric presure = 100 kN/m²(abs) Calculate the pressure in the cylinder and force on the piston at the beginning of the suction stroke.
