    V1 = √2gH
    V2 = √2g(H + L)
    V3 = √2g(H + L)

    Correct Option: D

    V1 = √2gH
    V2 = √2g(H + L)
    V3 = √2g(H + L)


  1. Consider steady flow of water in a situation where two pipe lines (pipe 1 and pipe 2) combine into a single pipe line (pipe 3) as shown in figure. The cross-sectional'area of all three pipelines are constant. The following data is given

    Assuming the water properties and the velocities to be uniform across the cross-section of the inlets and the outlet, the exit velocity (in m/s) in pipe 3 is

    Q1 + Q2 = Q3
    A1V1 + A2V2 = A3V3
    1 + 4 = 2.5 V3
    or V3 = 2 m/s

    Correct Option: C

    Q1 + Q2 = Q3
    A1V1 + A2V2 = A3V3
    1 + 4 = 2.5 V3
    or V3 = 2 m/s
