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.)

- Please help answer the questions shown in photo. Thank you so much!!arrow_forwarda) Assuming that the pressure is uniform on each of the channel walls, determine the pressure difference between the upper and lower wall that is needed if the required net force on the two walls is 1850 N pointing downward (in the negative y-direction). 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.
