A wave train with deep water wave height of H = 4.5 m and a wave periodof T = 10 s approaches to shore with 8 degrees of incident angle. Determine whether the wave has broken at d = 5 m.
Water ( density 1000kg/m3) flows downward naturally through a vertical pipeline of diameter D=25 cm and length L= 100 m . Determine the pressure gradient causing flow ( USE π = 3 ; g = 10 m2/s )
ANSWER: 10 kPa/m
(Although I wrote this is the answer under the question in some of the questions I posted before. Different answers were found from the answer. The exact answer to this question is 10kPa / m.)

Use a sign convention that a positive pressure difference or gradient means the pressure at the higher y-position is higher. The value of the pressure difference is Pa. The value of the pressure gradient across the channel is Pa/m. b) Your team agree that, from experience, the average velocity of the fluid is v = 49. Assuming that the velocity is uniform across the channel, and neglecting gravitational effects, determine the curvature R required to generate this force with this flow velocity. Use a sign convention that a positive value indicates that the centre of the radius is above the channel, i.e. the middle of the channel is bent downwards. A negative radius indicates the middle of the channel is bent upwards.
