a vertical wall separates two different fluids in an open tank. The right side of the tank contains gasoline (SG=0.8) at a depth of 5m. A rectangular gate hinged 5m high and 3m wide is located in the wall and hinged at the bottom. Water is poured on the left side of the tank. determine the height at which the gate starts to open.

Two conical vertical tanks with the same radius of 2m are connected by a pipe line 7.5cm in diameter and 8m in length. The bigger tank with an altitude equal to 3.5m is initially full of water while the smaller tank with an altitude of 2m is empty. If the pipe valve is open to allow water to flow from the bigger tank to the smaller tank until it is full, find the height of the water remaining in the bigger tank.

The discharge from A to B is 50L/s. Pipe 1 is 650m long and 0.3m in diameter. Pipe2 is 500m long and 0.5m in diameter. Pipe 3 is 750m long and 0.4m in diameter. The surface roughnessin all pipes is 0.36mm. Assume that the kinematic viscosity of water is 1x10-6 m 2 /s. Determine the headloss from A to B. Solve using either the method of equivalent pipes or the Hardy Cross Method.
