    V = 2î + 3ĵ

    u
    =
    dx
    vdy

    2
    =
    dx
    3dy

    ∴ 3dx = 2dy
    ⇒ 3dx – 2dy = 0

    Correct Option: A

    V = 2î + 3ĵ

    u
    =
    dx
    vdy

    2
    =
    dx
    3dy

    ∴ 3dx = 2dy
    ⇒ 3dx – 2dy = 0


  1. The allowable net positive suction head (NPSH) for a pump provided by the manufacturer for a flow of 0.05 m3 /s is 3.3m. The temperature of water is 30°C (vapour pressure head absolute = 0.44 m), atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa absolute and the head loss from the reservoir to pump is 0.3 N-m/N. The maximum height of the pump above the suction reservoir is

    Head loss , hL = 0.3
    Nm
    = 0.3 m of water
    N

    NPSH = Hatm – Hv – hs – hL
    3.3 =
    100 × 103
    - 0.44 - hs - 0.3
    1000 × 9.81

    ⇒ hs = 6.15 m

    Correct Option: C

    Head loss , hL = 0.3
    Nm
    = 0.3 m of water
    N

    NPSH = Hatm – Hv – hs – hL
    3.3 =
    100 × 103
    - 0.44 - hs - 0.3
    1000 × 9.81

    ⇒ hs = 6.15 m



  1. The height of a hydraulic jump in the stilling pool of 1.25 scale model was observed to the 10 cm. The corresponding prototype height of the jump is

    Lr = 1.25

    Lr =
    hm
    hp

    1
    =
    10
    25hp

    ⇒ hp = 250 cm = 2.5 m

    Correct Option: B

    Lr = 1.25

    Lr =
    hm
    hp

    =
    10
    25hp

    ⇒ hp = 250 cm = 2.5 m


  1. The reading of differential manometer of a Venturimeter, placed at 45° to the horizontal is 11 cm. If the Venturimeter is turned to horizonal position, the manometer reading will be.

    The indication of pipe does not affect the recading of the manometer, since it measure pressure difference between two points and will not change with orientation.

    Correct Option: C

    The indication of pipe does not affect the recading of the manometer, since it measure pressure difference between two points and will not change with orientation.
