b) A solid cylinder of diameter 4.0 m has a height of 4.0 m. Find the meta-centric
height of the cylinder if the specific gravity of the material of cylinder is 0.6 and
it is floating in water with its axis vertical. State whether the equilibrium is stable
or unstable. (8+6)
3. Each gate of a Lock gate is 9m high. When the gates are closed, they make an angle of
120 degree. The width of the lock is 10m. Each gate is supported by two hinges located
at 1m and 6 m above the bottom of the lock. The depths of water on the two sides are
8m and 4m respectively. Find (i) Resultant water force on each gate
(ii) Reaction between the gates (iii) Force on each hinge, considering the reaction
of the gate acting in the same horizontal plane as resultant water pressure. (14)
4. a) A circular tank of diameter 1.25 m contains water upto a height of 5m. An orifice of
50 mm diameter is provided at its bottom. If Cd=0.62, find the height of water above
the orifice after 1.5 minutes.
b) A nozzle of 50 mm diameter delivers a stream of water at 20 m/s perpendicular to a

plate that moves away from the jet at 5 m/s. Find (i)the force on the plate,
(ii) the work done and (iii) efficiency of jet. (7+7)
5. A 20 cm x 10 cm Venturimeter is provided in a vertical pipeline carrying oil of

sp. gr. 0.8, the flows of oil is in upward direction. The difference in elevation of the
throat section and entrance section of the Venturimeter is 50 cm. The differential
U-tube mercury manometer shows a guage deflection of 40 cm. Calculate1) the discharge
of oil and 2) the pressure difference between the entrance section and the throat section.
Take Cd=0.98 and sp.gr. of mercury as 13.6. (14)
6. a) Derive from the first principles, Chezy’s formula for loss of head due to friction in pipe.
b) For water supply, a main pipeline of diameter 0.4 m is required. As pipes more than
0.35 m diameter are not readily available, two parallel pipes of the same diameter
were used for water supply. If the total discharge in the parallel pipes is same as in
the single main pipes, find the diameter of the parallel pipe. Assume coefficient
of friction same for all pipes. (6+8)
7. a) Prove that the loss of pressure head for the viscous flow through a circular pipe
32 µ uL
is given by hf = , where ω specific weight, u = average velocity.
ωd 2
b) A shaft having a diameter of 50 mm rotates centrally in a Journal Bearing having

a diameter of 50.15 mm and length 100mm. The angular space between the shaft
and the bearing is filled with oil having viscosity of 0.9 poise. Determine the
power absorbed in the bearing when the speed of rotation is 60 rpm. (7 +7)
8. a) Derive an expression for the depth of paraboloid formed by the surface of a liquid
contained in a cylindrical tank which is rotated at a constant angular velocity ( ω )
about its vertical axis.
b) A cylindrical vessel 12 cm in diameter and 30 cm deep is filled with water upto

the top. The vessel is open at the top. Calculate the quantity of water left in the vessel
and uncovered area at the bottom when it is rotated about its vertical axis with a
speed of 600 rpm. (6+8)
