2.(a) Calculate the specific weight, density, specific volume and relative density of one litre of petrol which weighs 0.7 kgf.

(b) Define surface tension.
Derive the relationship between surface tension and pressure inside a droplet of liquid in excess of outside pressure.

3.(a) Describe the principle of conservation of energy with the help of a mathematical expression.

(b) Derive Euler's equations of motion.

4.(a) An oil of specific gravity 0·8 is flowing through a venturimeter having inlet diameter 20 cm and throat diameter 10 cm. The oil-mercury differential manometer shows a reading of 25 cm. Calculate the discharge through the horizontal venturimeter. (Take Cd =0·98)

(b) Describe any two practical applications of Bernoulli's equation.

5.(a) A circular tank of diameter 4 m contains water up to a height of 5 m. The tank is provided with an orifice of diameter 0·5 m at the bottom. Find the time taken by water to fall from 5 m to 2 m. A circular tank of diameter 1·25 m contains water up to a height of 5 m. An orifice of 50 mm diameter is provided at its bottom. If Cd =0.62 (Coefficient of discharge), find the height of water above the orifice after 1·5 minutes.

6.(a) A main pipe divides into two parallel pipes which again forms one pipe as shown in Figure 1.

The length and diameter for the first parallel pipe are 2000 m and 1·0 m respectively, while the length and diameter of the second parallel pipe are 2000 m and 0·8 m respectively. Find the rate of flow in each parallel pipe, if the total flow in the main is 3·0 m^3/sec. (Assume coefficient of friction =0·005)

(b) Find the discharge through a rectangular channel of width 2 having a bed slope of 4 in 8000. The depth of flow is 1·5 m and the value of n in Manning's formula is 0·012.
