1. The blacktip shark shown below (nature.org) is swimming very slowly 1m above the top of the coral reef. The vertical distance from its nose to the water surface is 2m. Set the top of the coral reef as the datum, assume the shark is stationary, and calculate: a. The pressure head at the shark's nose. b. The elevation head at the shark's nose. c. The total head at the shark's nose. d. The pressure at the shark's nose.

A sluice gate, which controls flow rate in a channel by simply raising or lowering a vertical plate, is commonly used in water irrigation systems. A force on the gate due to the difference between the water heights ??1 and ??2 and the flow velocities ??1 and ??2 upstream and downstream from the gate, respectively. For simplicity we may assume inviscid (frictionless) water flow. Obtain the horizontal force exerted by the flow on the vertical plate if ??1 =10 ft and ??2 = 3 ft. Take width of the sluice gate (into the page) to be ?? = 5 ft.
