Q2) A pipe system carries water from a reservoir and discharges it as a free jet. The entrance to the pipe is via a bell mouth at a depth of X from the reservoir surface. From the entrance the pipe extends 26m, in the horizontal plane before a pipe bend tuning the pipe vertically. The pipe then rises for 15m before a second bend turning it back to the horizontal where it extends for another 38m before the exit. For a volume flow rate of 0.16m3/s through a 150mm diameter pipe calculate
