A 600mm pipeline, 1550m long is to take water from a reservoir at elevation 150m and discharge it through a 150mm nozzleat elevation 25m. The pipeline is to be constructed so that at a point X, 200m from the nozzle, the pipe shall be 3m below the hydraulic gradeline. What would be the elevation of the pipe at X and what horsepowerwill be available in the jet from the nozzle? Assume f = 0.023 and no loss at entrance to pipe. Use device coefficient = 0.95.

pls answer asap for my hydraulics course. A 30 cm diameter pipe is connected by a reducer to a 10 cm diameter pipe. Points 1 (on the 30 cm diam.) and 2 (on the 10 cm diam.) are along the same elevation. The pressure at 1 is 250 kPa. The flow is 30 liters per second and the energy lost between 1 and 2 is equivalent to 20 kPa. Compute the pressure at 2 if the liquid flowing has a specific gravity of 1.50.
