(g) Water is flowing at 6 m/s in a pressure penstock 4500 m long. If the celerity of the pressure wave travelling in the pipe due to sudden complete closure of a valve at the downstream end is given as 1500 m/s, what is the maximum pressure rise? What is the period of oscillation? Show how the pressure changes with time at the middle point of the penstock length. Ignore all frictional losses.
