2. (c)
For stable equilibrium,
for a completely submerged body, the centre of gravity should be below the centre of buoyancy. For
floating body, the metacentre should be above the centre of gravity.
4. (c)
Hydraulic gradient line represents sum of elevation and pressure head. Energy gradient line represents
total head (elevation + pressure + velocity heads).
During flow through pipe, these lines will coincide only when velocity is zero meaning no flow. For ideal
fluid, there will not be any head loss and so energy gradient line will be horizontal.
5. (d)
For equivalent pipe systems.

For same head loss in two pipe same discharge is obtained.

In the case of maximum acceleration, the free surface will be such that one end will have 2.5 m depth and
the other will have zero depth. Equating volume contained by free surface to earlier volume.
