Question: Problem 3 : ( 3 0 pts . ) The siphon spillway depicted below is operating at capacity with H = 1 0 . 5

Problem 3: (30pts.) The siphon spillway depicted below is operating at capacity with H=10.5m. The 50-m-long siphon has a diameter of 1m, a friction factor of 0.02, an inlet loss coefficient of 0.5, and an exit loss coefficient of 1.0. The crown of the siphon is 1.2m below the reservoir level and 10m of pipe length from the reservoir.
(1) Determine the velocity head and flow rate in the pipe (15').
(2) Determine the pressure at the siphon crown in kNm2.(10'). Does this pressure cause cavitation, why? (5')
