Direction: Read the problems carefully. Correct answers with NO/WRONG solution shall not be
considered.

1. Refer to the figure below. If 𝑓 = 0.02, determine:

a. Corrected flow in line BE
b. Corrected flow in line BC
c. Corrected flow in line AD

2. Three reservoir A, B and C are connected by pipelines 1, 2 and 3 respectively which

merges at junction X. The elevation of reservoir B is 350 m and the total head loss from
reservoir A to C is 10 m. The rate of flow from reservoir B is 0.9 m³/s.

Pipes Diameter Length 𝑓

(mm) (m)
1 800 1500 0.0157
2 600 450 0.0162
3 450 1200 0.0177

Determine:
a. Rate of flow in reservoir A
b. Rate of flow in reservoir C
c. Elevation of reservoir A
3. A V-notch weir is located or cut at one end of a tank having a horizontal square section 10
m x 10 m. If the initial head on the weir is 1.20 m and it takes 377 seconds to discharge
100 cu.m. of water and using correction factor 𝐶 = 0.60.
Determine:
a. Vertex angle of the weir.
b. Discharged water after 200 seconds.
c. Time when the surface drops at 0.80 m.

4. A rectangular channel has a base width of 7 m and a depth of 2.5 m carries a discharge of
21.81 m³/sec. It is required to change this channel into a most efficient trapezoidal
section having the same material.
Determine:
a. Depth of trapezoidal channel
b. Increase in discharge
c. Max shear stress on the sides of the channel if it has a slope of 0.0004
