1. The rain falling vertically was measured using a rain gage. 6. The water surface at Reservoir A, B and C are at elevation
If the rain gage is inclined 100 from the horizontal, it 411.6m, 393m and 362.8m, respectively. Pipes from three
measures 1.5% less than it should. At what percent decrease reservoirs meet at point P which is at elevation 366m as
of the gage reading if it inclined at 200 from the horizontal? shown in the figure below. Assume all pipes are PVC with
(10pts) Hazen Williams, C = 150. Pressure at point C is 18.30psi.

2. In the figure shown, the deflection of mercury is initially
250mm. If the pressure at A is increased by 40KPa, while
maintaining the pressure at B constant. What will be the new
mercury deflection in “mm”? (10pts)

boiler drum of length 8m and of diameter 3m. The drum is
horizontal and contains water up to a height of 2.4m. Find the
time required to empty the boiler. Take coefficient of
discharge as 0.60 (10pts)
