gage pressure. If the tank is 30 cm deep
meters?
and accidentally contains 2 cm of water
A. 136 C. 148
plus gasoline, how many centimeters of
air remain at the top when the gage B. 129 D. 117
erroneously reads “full”? For gasoline,
sg = 0.68. 9. What is the power delivered by the pump
in kW?

hydraulic jump occurs in a rectangular Situation 2. A 600 mm diameter pipe, 850 m
channel from 0.22 m to 0.84 m. long carries a water at the rate of 2.2
A. 0.98 C. 1.48 m/s. Use Ewater = 2.2 × 109 Pa and ρwater =
B. 1.28 D. 1.65 1000 kg/m3.

6. Gate AB in the given figure is a quarter 10. What is the water hammer pressure due
