Problem 1.

Figure 1: Tube for measuring velocity head

Figure 1 is a schematic of a glass tube inserted into a flowing stream of water with one opening directed upstream and the other end vertical. If the water velocity is 4 m/s, how high will the water rise in the vertical leg relative to the level of the water surface of the stream?

Problem 2.

Figure 2 is a schematic of a reservoir draining into a pipe. The velocity in the outlet pipe is 8 m/s and h=19m. Because of the rounded entrance to the pipe, the flow is assumed to be irrotational. What is the pressure at A?
