3. The Balgstuw Ramspol is an inflatable rubber dam in The Netherlands used to protect theIJssel delta against flooding. When the dam is needed, water is allowed to flow into the rubbermembrane until it is at the same level as the water level on the inland side of the dam. Then,extra air is pumped inside the rubber membrane to create the dam. The total width of the dam(into the page) is 240 m. Let's assume this rubber membrane can handle a net horizontal forcefrom the water of 1 x 10°N. If the inland water level is 3m and the sea level is 5m, as shownbelow, would the rubber membrane be able to hold the net horizontal force due to water?Assume static conditions. Ignore any forces generated by air inside or outside the dam andneglect the weight of the rubber membrane itself.AirRubber Membrane240 m wide(into the page)5 mSeaH₂OAir7 mInlandH₂OH₂O3 m3 mGround

Someone can help me with this one please
A vertical circular stack 30 m high converges uniformly from a diameter of 6 m at the bottom and 4.5 m at the top. Gas with a unit weight of 0.12 N per cubic meter enters the bottom of the tank with a uniform velocity of 0.334 m/sec enters the stack. The unit weight increases by 7.5 percent every 2 meters. Find the velocity of flow at every 5 meters along the stack. Graph velocity at the abscissa against height at the ordinate (PLEASE USE COMPLETE SOLUTION AND FIGURES)
A name-wide cement dam contains water to a height of 6m. Determine the action of water on the dam and the position of the action of the water.
Two reservoirs, A and B, are 7.5 km away from each other and connected by a 900 mm steel pipe ( f = 0.02). If reservoir A is 10 m higher than reservoir B, the pressure at B is 90 kPa greater that the pressure at reservoir A, what is the amount and direction of flow of water in the pipe. Use f = 0.02.

SITUATION 4: Water is drained from a large reservoir using two horizontal pipes connected in series. The first pipe is 20 m long and has a 10-cm diameter, while the second pipe is 35 m long and has a 4- cm diameter. The water level in the reservoir is 18 m above the center line of the pipe. The pipe entrance is a sharp edged, and the contraction between the two pipes is sudden. Neglecting the effect of the kinetic energy correction factor, determine the discharge rate of water from the reservoir. Assume the friction factor for all pipes is equal to 0.02 and the loss coefficient is 0.05 for a sharp edged entrance, and is 0.46 for sudden contraction. 18 m Oil tank 20 m 35 m
A horizontal jet of 57 liters/sec strikes tangentially on one or another of a series of moving curved vanes, each having a deflection angle of 60 degrees. The water as it leaves the vane has an absolute velocity of 12 m/sec and makes an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal. (a) Determine the horizontal force exerted on the vanes. (b) Determine the power developed.
When constructing a dam, the bottom of the dam is thicker than the top of the dam. The necessity of having a thick bottom is a result of the volume of the water behind the dam. the altitude of the body of water behind the dam. the depth of the water behind the dam. the community surrounding the dam. No answer
Water is flowing in AF pipe (Figure 1) at a velocity of 2 m/s and a pressure of 102400 Pa, the pipe length is 100 m. If the water pressure needs to be at a pressure of 1.6 atm on a lower level. What should be the different in elevation between the upper and lower levels in order to achieve this pressure? Take the density of water 1000 kg/m3 and gravity is 9.81 m/s2, consider the energy loss.
A pipeline, 50 cm diameter and 4,500 m long, connects two reservoirs whom constant difference of water level is 12 m. A branch pipe, 1,250 m long and taken from a point distant 1,500 m from reservoir A, leads to reservoir C whose water level is 15 m below that of reservoir A. Find the diameter, in centimeters, of the branch pipe, so that the flow into both the reservoirs is the same. Assume friction coefficient ƒ = 0.03 for all the pipes.
