Question: Question 4 ( 3 0 points ) [ Application of energy equation ] Oil flows in an inclined pipe at a rate Q as shown

Question 4(30 points)[Application of energy equation]
Oil flows in an inclined pipe at a rate Q as shown in the figure. The differential reading in the mercury manometer is L. The specific gravity of oil and mercury are SGoil and SGHg, respectively.
a) Derive the equation to compute the shaft work head, hs, that the pump supplies to the oil if head losses are negligible. (25 points)
Note: simplify your equation as much as possible.
b) Determine the magnitude of the shaft work head, hs, if the following magnitudes are known
SGoil=0.88
SGHg=13.6
Al=0.785ft2
A2=0.196ft2
Q=5ft3s
L=3ft
h=2ft
H=2ft
