A point on the surface of a free vortex is at a radius of 300mm from the vortex centre
and 375mm above a datum. The natural free surface, unaffected by the vortex, is
600mm above datum. Determine the radius here the vortex free surface is !"5mm
above datum.

A 6m diameter sur'e tan+ is located at the donstream end of a "m diameter ater
pipeline. The pipeline is 3+m lon' ith & 0.0! and a velocity of flo & 3m,s.
Determine the difference in ater level beteen the upstream reservoir and the sur'e
tan+, and the period of oscillation of the ater level in the sur'e tan+, hen the flo
becomes unsteady.
Asin' a time interval of "0 seconds and a finite difference inte'ration method,
calculate the ater level in the sur'e tan+ and the velocity in the pipeline at a time of
