Design a pipe line for village considering following figure. It is

stipulated that one half of the daily supply of 150 litres per capita

per day should be delivered with in eight hours. Take C=45

a)      What must be the size of the pipe to furnish the supply,

if the head available is 12 meters?

b)     If the velocity in this pipe (friction= 0.002 is

ristricted to 1.5 m/sec, find the head loss?



Is it ethical for a company to subcontract equipment and then claim in a proposal that it is produced in house? 

Where is the line drawn between a typical purchased subassembly which goes into a larger product?


a short reinforced concrete column of section 200mm x 22mm is to be reinforced with a 4 numbered steel bars and is required to carry an axial load of 850KN. the stress in the column must not exceed 7N/mm^2 and the stress in the steel must not exceed 150N/mm^2. determine the diameter required for the bars and subsequent stresses occurring in the concrete and the steel under the specified load.


young's modulai concrete = 14KN/mm^2 and steel = 210KN/mm^2. suitable sketch

1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using the breaking the tape
method in measuring the horizontal distance of a sloping terrain?

2. Give other methods of determining the horizontal distance between two points
A small engine has been mounted on a structural system. The engine will run at 1800rpm with an unbalanced massof 28.5*10^-3kg at a radius of 0.15m.The structure has a vertial stiffness of 86.7KN/m. A free vibration test has been run to estimate the damping when the engine till for the firt 21st oscillations. The test measured of a frequency of oscillation f 15Hz and a ratio of amplitude f 22.0. What vibration amplitude will the system have with the engine running at full speed?
Consider a mercury manometer connected to a tank of water, as shown in the diagram below. Please calculate the ratio of hm to hw. (The specific gravity of mercury=13.56)

The length of the basketball court from MIT’s Gym was paced by a CE student whose pace factor is 0.78. How many paces accurate to ¼ of a pace do you think did the student make?


Every morning Joy walks to school from her boarding house and takes only a single route. For five consecutive days, she tries to count the number of paces she makes. Monday morning’s number of paces made by Joy is listed as 345 paces. On Tuesday, 353 paces; Wednesday, 358 paces; Thursday, 348 paces and, lastly, on Friday 355 paces. That Friday afternoon, a surveyor from City Engineer’s Office who is tasked to lay out a new drainage piping system, measured the exact route she took and found out that the taped distance is 275m. What is Joy’s pace factor?


1. Name three most important pointers that an individual must remember to follow in order to make his/her approximation of the distance of an unknown course to be as accurate as possible.


2. A student tries to measure the perimeter of a small park of his community by pacing around the area for three consecutive times. The no of paces was tallied at 535,543 and 539 respectively, for each trial. If the student’s pace factor is 0.74m/pace, determine the actual perimeter of the land.
