the pipe? [-2. A steel pipeline with a nominal diameter of 24 in has an ID of 22.624 in (575 mm) and a wall thickness of 0.688 in (17.5 mm) carries a flow of 28 ft3/s (794 L/s). The pipe makes a short-radius 90° turn. What is the force developed in a buttress at the bend? What stress would be developed in the pipe by this change in direction if no buttress were provided? -3. What is the maximum stress which could be produced in the pipe of Prob. 6-2 as a result of suddenly closing a valve in the line? (K for water is approximately 10 percent of the value of E for steel.)

3. An opening gate was installed in an irrigated land drainage system automatic to avoid flooding, articulated in O and with an angle of 0 = 40° with the horizontal, as shown in the figure. The gate weighs W = 9.0 kN and has a height L = 1.7 m; width w = 1,8 m. a) If the height of water is equal to h = 0.65 m, determine the resulting force of water on the gate and the application point in relation to point O. b) To what height of water h will the gate open? That is, rotate in the anti-schedule. L h
