SOLUTION
S1. Ans. (b)
Sol. (ρgh) oil = (ρgh) water
1000 × 0.9 × 9.81× h = 1000 × 9.81 × 4.5
h = 5 m of oil
S2. Ans. (d)
Sol.
P =ρgh ̅A
= 1000 × 9.81 × (0.5 + 1/2) × 2 × 1
P = 19620 N.
P = 19620/9.81 kg.
P = 2000 km
S3. Ans.(d)
Sol. Mercury is used in barometers because
→ Its vapour pressure is practically zero.
→ the height of barometer will be less.
→ Its high density.
S4. Ans. (d)
Sol. U-tube manometer ⇒ It is used to measure Low, medium, High, Positive & Negative gauge pressure.
Differential manometer – used for measure pressure difference between two Point
S5. Ans. (b)
Sol. When fluid particle moves in zig – zag path then flow is turbulent flow
S6. Ans. (d)
Sol.
By continuity equation
A₁ V₁ = A₂ V₂
π/4 (30)² × 100 = π/4 × (15)² × V₂
V₂ = 400 m/sec
S7. Ans. (a)
Sol. Hydraulic grade line
(i) Joining the point of piezometric head
(ii) Line may go up or down in the fluid flow
(iii) Always lies below the total energy line.
S8. Ans.(c)
Sol. Loss of energy at the exit of pipe =
(0.5 V²)/2g
S9. Ans. (c)
Sol. In most efficient trapezoidal channel the sloping side in equal to the half of the width at top.
S10. Ans. (c)
Sol.
Depth (y) = 2 m
Width (b) = 3 m
Slope (S) = 1 in 1000
Constant (c) = 60
Q = AC √RS
Q = 3 × 2 × 60 √(A/P×1/100)
Q = 3 × 2 × 60 √((3×2)/(3+4)×1/1000)
Q = 10. 539 m³/sec
