Montano Plate01 (Finals) 3P Hydraulics

The document is a hydraulics problem set from the Civil Engineering Department at the University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines. It contains 3 problems involving water flow rates and the behavior of water in a rotating cylindrical tank. The first problem calculates the flow rate of water through a rubber hose. The second problem calculates the water depth and maximum speed before spillage for a tank rotating about its vertical axis. The third problem determines how much water would spill from the tank if it were rotating at 120 rpm.

1. Water flows through a rubber hose 1.5 cm in diameter at a velocity of 4.5 m/s. What is the rate of flow in
m3/min?
𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝐹𝑙𝑜𝑤 = 𝑣𝑒𝑙𝑜𝑐𝑖𝑡𝑦 × 𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑎

2. An open cylindrical tank 1.8m in diameter and 2.8m tall contains 2m deep of water. The tank is revolved about
its own vertical axis at uniform angular speed ω.
a. If ω = 70 rpm, how deep is the water at the center of the tank?
