The L-shaped gate shown in the figure is designed such that when water reaches a certain design depth, h, it will automatically open by overturning clockwise. Counterclockwise rotation beyond the initial position is prevented by a stopper located at the end of the horizontal leg of the gate. The center of gravity of the gate is located a few centimeters to the right of O. Which of the following statements is FALSE? Water 1.5 m Select one: O a. At low values of depth, the gate may overturn due to the moment caused by the weight of the gate O b. The pressure distribution on the vertical side of the gate is trapezoidal O c. When the design depth, h, is reached, the gate will overturn due to the moment caused by hydrostatic force on the vertical side O d. The pressure distribution on the horizontal side of the gate is constant

For a vertical rectangular gate, one side has linseed oil (0.938) and the other has two fluids - castor oil (0.96) and water. Considerinh a unit-width of the gate, apoly the PRESSURE PRISM CONCEPT (Illustrate and label the pressure diagram/prism) to calculate the magnitude and direction of the following when z = 20ft.
The flow rate of water flowing out of an 80mm diameter nozzle shown in Figure 1 is 60 litre/s. The volume of the water in the pipe bend is 50 litres and the pipe bend is installed in a vertical plane. The head loss from point 1 to 2 is 0.44m. Calculate the x and y for components of the thrust block to hold the pipe bend. Horizontal Thrust block 30° 50° Open end Ø80 mm Ø 160 mm Figure 3 Cs Scanned with CamScanner Vertical
In a sudden enlargement of a pipe cross-section, if the velocity of flow at the inlet of pipe (V1) = 40 m/s, velocity of flow at the outlet of the pipe (V2) = 20 m/s and the acceleration due to gravity is assumed to be 10 m/s2, then the loss of head due to sudden enlargement of pipe is: a. 18 m of water b. 40 m of water c. 15 m of water d. 20 m of water
If the gate was designed to withstand a maximum force of 6,000 lbs, verify the gate will not break when the tank is filled with gas.

A 90° elbow in a horizontal pipe is used to direct water flow upward at a rate of 47 kg/s. Another identical elbow is attached to the existing elbow such that the water flow makes a U-turn as shown in the second figure. The diameter of the entire elbow is 10 cm. The elbow discharges water into the atmosphere, and thus the pressure at the exit is the local atmospheric pressure. The elevation difference between the centers of the exit and the inlet of the elbow is 50 cm. The weight of the elbow and the water in it is considered to be negligible. Take the momentum-flux correction factor to be 1.03 at both the inlet and the outlet. Take the density of water to be 1000 kg/m³. Water m kg/s Water 2 1 FRI 50 cm FRX 50 cm If another (identical) elbow is attached to the existing elbow so that the fluid makes a U-turn, determine the magnitude of anchoring force needed to hold the elbow in place. The magnitude of anchoring force needed to hold the elbow in place is 438 * N.
An open, clean glass tube (0 = 0) is inserted vertically into a pan of water. The surface tension of water is 7.34 x 10-2 N/m. What tube diameter is needed if the water level in the tube is to rise one tube diameter (due to surface tension)?

Newt Scamander had caught a new magical sea creature. He wanted to know if the tank is strong enough because he can't use his magic for the mean time. Please refer to the front view details of the tank below. Neglecting atmospheric pressure. Compute the resultant force on the quarter-circle panel BC using 9.79kN/m^3 for the unit weight of water. 5m 3m ug
A 90° elbow in a horizontal pipe is used to direct water flow upward at a rate of 43 kg/s. Another identical elbow is attached to the existing elbow such that the water flow makes a U-turn as shown in the second figure. The diameter of the entire elbow is 10 cm. The elbow discharges water into the atmosphere, and thus the pressure at the exit is the local atmospheric pressure. The elevation difference between the centers of the exit and the inlet of the elbow is 50 cm. The weight of the elbow and the water in it is considered to be negligible. Take the momentum-flux correction factor to be 1.03 at both the inlet and the outlet. Take the density of water to be 1000 kg/m3.
