Two pipelines, one carrying oil (mass density 900 kg/m3) and the other water, are connected to a manometer as shown in the figure. By what amount the pressure in the water pipe should be increased so that the mercury levels in both the limbs of the manometer become equal? (Mass density of mercury = 13,550 kg/m3 and g = 9.81 m/s2)

inclined glass tube is 100 mm. Assuming and the manometric fluid as oil with specific gravity of 0.86, the pressure at A is

A steep wide rectangular channel takes off from a reservoir having an elevation of 101.2 m. At the entrance, the bottom elevation of the channel is 100 m. If the slope of the channel is increased by 4%, the discharge per unit length in the channel will be (a) 2.24 m2/s (b) higher than 2.24 m2/s by 4% (c) higher than 2.24 m2/s by 2% (d) choked

A wide channel is 1 m deep and has a velocity of flow, V, as 2.13 m/s. If a disturbance is caused, an elementary wave can travel upstream with a velocity of (a) 1.00 m/s (b) 2.13 m/s (c) 3.13 m/s (d) 5.26 m/s For a pipe of radius, r, flowing half full under the action of gravity, the hydraulic depth is (a) r (b) (c) (d) 0.379 r

7. A triangular open channel has a vertex angle to 90 and carries flow at a critical depth of 0.30 m. The discharge in the channel is (a) 0.08 m3/s (b) 0.11 m3/s (c) 0.15 m3/s (d) 0.2 m3/s The normal depth in a wide rectangular channel is increased by 10%. The percentage increase in the discharge in the channel is: (A) 20.1 (B) 15.4 (C) 10.5 (D) 17.2
