Assignment 6
1. A cylindrical tank, 0.3 m in diameter, drains through a hole in its bottom. At the
instant when the water depth is 0.6 m, the flow rate from the tank is observed to be
4 kg/s. Determine the rate of change of water level at this instant.
2. A pressurized tank of water has a 10-cm-diameter orifice at the bottom, where water
discharges to the atmosphere. The water level is 3 m above the outlet. The tank air
pressure above the water level is 300 kPa (absolute) while the atmospheric pressure
is 100 kPa. Neglecting frictional effects, determine the initial discharge rate of water
from the tank.

3. The water level in a tank is 20 m above the ground. A hose is connected to the
bottom of the tank, and the nozzle at the end of the hose is pointed straight up. The
tank cover is airtight, and the air pressure above the water surface is 2 atm gage.
The system is at sea level. Determine the maximum height to which the water stream
could rise.
4. Water flows from a very large tank through a 5-cm diameter tube. The dark liquid
in the manometer is mercury. Estimate the velocity in the pipe and the rate of
discharge from the tank. (Assume the flow is frictionless.)

5. Air at 110 kPa and 50°C flows upward through a 6-cm-diameter inclined duct at a
rate of 45 L/s. The duct diameter is then reduced to 4 cm through a reducer. The
pressure change across the reducer is measured by a water manometer. The
elevation difference between the two points on the pipe where the two arms of the
manometer are attached is 0.20 m. Determine the differential height between the
fluid levels of the two arms of the manometer.
