the jet coming out from the sluice gate, the sluice gate opening should be (coefficient of contraction Cc = 0.9) (a) 0.3 m (b) 0.4 m (c) 0.69 m (d) 0.9 m 7. Cross-section of an object (having same section normal to the paper) submerged into a fluid consists of a square of sides 2 m and triangle as shown in the figure.

10. For a body completely submerged in a fluid, the centre of gravity (G) and centre of Buoyancy (O) are known. The body is considered to be in stable equilibrium if CE (A) O does not coincide with the centre of mass of the displaced fluid (B) G coincides with the centre of mass of the displaced fluid (C) O lies below G (D) O lies above G 11. A spillway discharges flood flow at a rate of 9 per metre width.
