1. Water is being pumped at the rate of 0.02 m/s to an overhead tank through a 150 mm diameter 300 m long delivery pipe. In the tank, the pipe discharges freely at height of 15 m above the pump. If the Darcy-Weisbach friction factor = 0.03 for the pipe, determine: (i) The pressure developed by the pump on its delivery side, and (ii) The power delivered to water by the pump. Draw also the hydraulic gradient from the pump to the tank. Assume that the first 285 m of the delivery pipe is horizontal and the rest is vertical.
