    I l.b A square aperture in the vertical side of a tank h'u. on. diagonal vertical and is (S)

    completely covered by a plane plate hinged along one side of the upper side of
    the aperture. The diagonals of the aperture are 2.4 m long and the tank
    contains a liquid of specific gravity 1.2. The centre of the aperture is 1.8 m
    below the free surface. Calculate the thrust exerted on the plate by the liquid
    and the position of centre of pressure.

    \ 14 A buoy carrying a beam-light has the upper portion cylindrical, 2 m diameter (14)
    and 1.25 m deep. The lower portion, which is curved one displaces a volume
    of 400 litres and its centre of buoyancy is located 1.3 m below the top of the
    cylinder. The centre of gravity of the whole buoy is 0.95 m below the top of
    the cylinder and the total displacement is 25.5 kN. Find the metacentric height
    ofthe body.
    Module 3
    l5.a An orifice meter consisting of 100 mm diameter orifice in a 250 mm diameter (6)
    pipe has Ca:0.65. The pipe delivers oil of specific gravity 0.8. The pressure
    difference in the two sides of the orifice plate is measured by mercury-oil
    differential manometer. If the differential gauge reading is 800 mm of
    mercury, find the rate of flow of oil through the pipe in litres/s.
    15.b A partially submerged rectangular orifice is I m wide and 0.8 m deep. (8)
    Calculate the discharge through the orifice, if the water level on the upstream
    is 4 m above the upper edge of the orifice and that at the downstream is 0.3
    above the lower edge of the orifice. Take Ca:0.62.

    16 A pipeline with diameter 80 cm and length 3000 m connects two open (14)
    reservoirs of water which have their surface elevations of 100 m and 70 m
    above a datum. In order to increase the flow rate between the reservoirs by
    20 yo, it is decided to lay an additional pipe of same diameter in parallel to the

    first one. The second pipeline is to be originated from the upper reservoir and
    is to be connected at some suitable point. Determine the point of connection,
    assuming the friction factor as 0.04 for both the lines. Neglect minor losses.
