Question: Question 1 . ( a ) A 3 m wide sluice gate on a tank of water that is a circular quadrant of radius R

Question 1.
(a) A 3 m wide sluice gate on a tank of water that is a circular quadrant of radius R=1.5m is pivoted as shown. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the resultant force when the water level is
(i) as shown with D=2.5m
(ii)0.5 m below the pivot

(b) A circular butter-fly valve of diameter 1.4 m is fitted to the vertical side wall of a tank containing water with the level of water above the centre of the valve being ?bar(z)=5m.
What is the torque required at the pivot to open the valve?

(c) Water flows in a circular pipe which increases in diameter from 300 mm at point A to 350 mm at point B. Then pipe then splits into two branches of diameters 0.25 m and 0.2 m discharging at C and D respectively. If the velocity at A is 1.0ms and at D is 0.8ms,
(i) What are the discharges at C and D and the velocities at B and C?
(ii) If point A is 4 m higher than point B and the pressure at A is 14kNm2, what is the pressure at point B?
