NOVEMBER 2021 CE BOARD EXAM RENDON 2 (Hydraulics)

INSTRUCTION: Select the correct answer for each of the following
questions. Mark only one answer for each item by shading the box
corresponding to the letter of your choice on the answer sheet provided.
STRICTLY NO ERASURES ALLOWED. GOOD LUCK.

NOTE: A times B is represented by A×B or A*B. A raised to the power n

is expressed as A^n. All problems are 1 point each.

1. A vertical clean glass piezometer tube has an inside diameter of 1

mm. When a pressure is applied, water (σ = 0.0728 N/m) rises into
the tube to a height of 25 cm. After correcting for surface tension,
estimate the applied pressure in Pa.
A. 2452 C. 2747
B. 2158 D. 2205

2. What is the best width for a rectangular brick channel designed to

carry 5 m3/s of water in uniform flow with So = 0.001? use n =
0.015.
A. 1.12 C. 2.24
B. 1.27 D. 2.54

3. A 100 – mm diameter solid cylinder of height 95 mm weighing 3.78 N

is immersed in liquid (γ=8168 N/m3) contained in a tall, upright
metal cylinder having a diameter of 120 mm. Before immersion the
liquid was 75 mm deep. What is the increase in the depth of water
in the container, in mm.?
A. 59 C. 68
B. 41 D. 35

4. Water in the pressurized tank flows out and creates a vertical jet
as shown. Assuming steady frictionless flow, determine the height
(m) H to which the jet rises.
A. 8.5 C. 6.5
B. 7.5 D. 9.5

5. The fuel gage for a gasoline tank in a car reads proportional to
the bottom gage pressure. If the tank is 30 cm deep and accidentally
contains 2 cm of water plus gasoline, how many centimeters of air
remain at the top when the gage erroneously reads “full”? For
gasoline, sg = 0.68.
A. 0.94 C. 1.12
B. 0.86 D. 1.25

6. An open cylindrical vessel having a height equal to its diameter

is half filled with water and rotated about its own vertical axis
at a constant speed of 120 rpm. Evaluate its minimum diameter so
that there can be no liquid spilled?
A. 0 C. 0.497
B. 0.368 D. 0.551

Situation 1. A 1.8 – m Ø sewer pipe is laid on a slope of 0.00036. n =

0.013.

B. 0.76 D. 0.98

Situation 2. A vat filled with oil (SG = 0.85) is 7 m long and 3 m deep
and has a trapezoidal cross-section 2 m wide at the bottom and 4 m
wide at the top. Compute:

10. the weight of oil in the vat, in kN.

A. 525 C. 235
B. 100 D. 350

11. the force on the vat bottom, in kN.

A. 525 C. 235

Situation 3. Three pipes steadily deliver water to a large exit pipe
shown in the figure. The velocity V2 = 5 m/s, and the exit flow
rate Q4 = 120 m3 /h. Find the following if it is known that
increasing Q3 by 20 percent would increase Q4 by 10 percent.

A. 5.11 C. 5.24
B. 5.45 D. 5.89

16. The pressure exerted onto a liquid is transmitted undiminished to

all portions of the liquid. This principle in fluid mechanics is
attributed to:
A. Archimedes C. Torricelli
B. Boyle D. Pascal
17. In any stream flowing steadily without friction, the total energy
contained is the same at every point in its path of flow. This
principle is attributed to:
A. Torricelli C. Pascal

18. The volume of a gas at constant temperature varies inversely as
the pressure applied to the gas. This principle is attributed to:
A. Boyle C. Archimedes
B. Pascal D. Bernoulli
19. Any body completely or partially submerged in a fluid (gas or
liquid) at rest is acted upon by an upward, or buoyant, force the
magnitude of which is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by
the body. This principle is attributed to:
A. Archimedes C. Torricelli
