Question: 2 . ( 3 5 Points ) The gage pressure in a sealed water storage tank ( left ( mathrm { p

2.(35 Points) The gage pressure in a sealed water storage tank \(\left(\mathrm{p}_{0}\right)\) is 15 kPa and has an exit orifice at the bottom of the tank for the water to discharge. The water level in the tank \(\left(\mathrm{h}_{1}\right)\) is 2.5 m above the outlet. The water discharges into a pipe of diameter 6 cm that flows horizontally and then rises to a new height, labeled point 2 in the figure below. The flow is then converged to a new pipe diameter of 4 cm and then the flow is discharged to the atmosphere at a height \(\left(\mathrm{h}_{4}\right)\) of 0.4 m above the tank exit orifice. The height ratio between \(\mathrm{h}_{2}\) and \( h_{3}\) is \(1: 2\left(h_{3}=2 h_{2}\right)\) A mercury manometer is connected across the diverging section that records a differential height \(\left(\mathrm{h}_{\mathrm{m}}\right)\) of 0.2 m . Neglect frictional effects throughout the system and note that the density of water is \(998\mathrm{~kg}/\mathrm{m}^{3}\) and the specific gravity of mercury is 13.6.
a) What is the discharge rate out of the system to the atmosphere in \( L /\mathrm{s}\)?
b) What is the dynamic pressure at state 1?
c) What is the gage pressure at state 2?
d) Sketch in box below the energy grade line (EGL) and hydraulic grade line (HGL) between the water surface in the tank through the discharge location at point 4.
