2 (a) A trapezoidal channel with a side slope of 1:1 has to be designed to convey 10m3/sec at a velocity of 2 m/sec, so that the amount of concrete lining for the bed and sides is minimum. Calculates the area of lining required for one meter length of channel. The rugosity coefficient N=0.015, calculate the bed slope the channel for uniform flow.

3 (a) A 1.6m wide, 5m long plate moves through stationary air of density 1.22 × 10-3 gm/cc and viscosity 1.8 × 10-4 poise at a velocity of 1.75 m/sec parallel to its length. Determine the draw force on one side of the plate. (a) Assuming laminar flow conditions, (b) Assuming turbulent flow condition.

3 (b) A kite of dimensions 0.8 × 0.8 m and weighing 6 N is maintain in air at an angel of 10° to the horizontal. The string attached to the kite makes an angel of 45° to the horizontal and at this position, the drag and lift coefficients are estimated to be 0.6 and 0.8 respectively. Determine wind speed and tension in the string.

4 (a) Water flows in a rectangular channel of 4 m width at a depth of 2.50 m and a velocity of 2.25 m/sec. If the width of channel is reduced to 2.250 m and the bed of channel is raised by 0.20 m at section, how will the level of water surface in the channel be affected?

6 (a) A circular of 1 m diameter and 10 m length is rotated at 420 rpm about its axis when its is kept in air stream with 11.0 m see velocity perpendicular to it axis. Determine (i) Circulation around the cylinder. (ii) Theoretical lift and lift coefficient , (iii) Position of stagnation point, (iv) Actual drag and lift force on the cylinder and (v) Actual resultant force and its direction.
