The rectangular gate shown in Figure 2.65 is intended to control the flow of seawater into a freshwater reservoir. If the freshwater has a density of 998 kg/m³, the seawater has a density of 1025 kg/m³, and the gate weighs 100 lb/meter (into the page), find the depth of seawater when the gate opens.

A water tower supplies water through the plumbing in a house. A 3.28-cm-diameter faucet in the house can fill a cylindrical container with a diameter of 44.5 cm and a height of 52.0 cm in 12.0 s. How high above the faucet is the top of the water in the tower? (Assume that the diameter of the tower is so large compared to that of the faucet that the water at the top of the tower does not move.) m
An air-filled, hemispherical shell is attached to the ocean floor at a depth of 9.4 m as shown in the figure below.

As shown in the figure below, water behind a dam enters an intake pipe at a pressure of 24 psia and velocity of 5 ft/s, flows through a hydraulic turbine-generator, and exits at a point z1 = 220ft below the intake at 19 psia, 45 ft/s, and a specific volume of 0.01602 ft³/lb. The diameter of the exit pipe is 5 ft and the local acceleration of gravity is 32.2 ft/s2.

Water flows at a rate of 28 L/s through a horizontal pipe whose diameter is constant at 3 cm. The pressure drop across a valve in the pipe is measured to be 2 kPa, as shown in the given figure. Determine the irreversible head loss of the valve and the useful pumping power needed to overcome the resulting pressure drop. Take the density of water to be p-1000 kg/m³ Water AP=2 kPa The irreversible head loss of the valve is The useful pumping power needed to overcome the head loss is m. W
