1. A container shown in the figure below contain water and closed by a cover height of 1.60
m & the width of 1 m. The cover AB is hinged at A to able to open outside with the pressure
inside the container. Find out the force F that should be act on the gate 1 m horizontally
from hinge A to keep the cover close to close the container when the pressure gauge reads
the 39.24 kNm-2. Neglect the friction at the hinge.

01. The population of a city is 600,000 and it is to be supplied with water from a reservoir 10
km away. Water is to be supplied at the rate of 150 liters per head per day and half the
supply is to be delivered in 6 hours. The full supply level of the reservoir is 200.0 m R.L.
and its lower water level is 150.0 m R.L. The delivery end of the main is at 50.0 m R.L.
and the head required there is 15 m.
a. Find the diameter of the pipe required to suit the condition. Assume the friction
coefficient f = 0.04.
b. After the implementation of this project, the population of the city has been increased
to 750,000. Find out the diameter of a pipe required additionally in parallel to the
existing pipe to satisfy the above conditions with the increased population.
Neglect all minor losses in the pipe system for all conditions.
