    16. Write down the dimensions and units for velocity, force and density.

    PART – C

    17. (a) The vacuum pressure at a point ‘A’ in a pipe line carrying water
    was measured by a ‘U’ tube manometer. The deflection of
    mercury between the limbs was 0.05m. The free surface of
    mercury in the open limb was 0.10m below the point ‘A’ in the
    pipe line. Find the pressure at ‘A’ in absolute units in terms of
    metre of water.
    (Or)
    (b) A triangular plate of 1m base and 1.2m height is immersed in
    water vertically with its apex above the base. The base is
    parallel to and at a depth of 1.4m below the water surface.
    Determine the total water pressure and depth of centre of
    pressure.

    18. (a) The diameter of a pipe changes uniformly from 450mm at a


    point A, 6m above the datum line to 150mm at a point B, 2.5m
    above the datum line. The pressure at A is 539.5×103 Pa and
    the velocity of flow is 1.4 m/sec. Assuming no loss between A
    and B, compute the velocity at B and pressure at B.
    (Or)
    (b) A pipe line connects two reservoirs whose difference in water
    levels is 15m. The length of the pipe is 600m. Taking friction
    factor ‘f’ as 0.02 and the discharge as 300 lps, find the
    diameter of the pipe line.

    19. (a) Water flows over a rectangular notch 1.25m wide with a head
    of 0.10m. The same discharge passes through a 60° V-notch.
    Assuming Cd are same for both notches, determine the head
    over V-notch.
    (Or)
    (b) A rectangular weir 6m long is divided into 3 equal bays by two
    vertical posts, each 0.30m thick. Find the discharge when the
    head is 0.45m by using Bazin’s formula.

    20. (a) A rectangular channel is 8m wide and 3m deep. The bed fall is
    1 in 1000. Find the discharge in cumecs when it is running full.
    Take Chezy’s constant as 55.
    (Or)
    (b) Explain briefly about the various methods of measurement of
    velocity in channels.

    21. (a) Explain briefly about the various types of well construction.
    (Or)
    (b) What are the advantages and disadvantages of centrifugal
    pump over reciprocating pump?
