Methanol is to be pumped from large storage to tank cars at the rate of 1000 litres per min. The transfer line is 10 cm internal diameter and consists of 150m of straight pipe, four 90⁰ standard elbows (Le/D =32) two side run tees (Le/D = 90) and two gate valves (Le/D = 7). The level in the storage tank is 5 m below the level of the discharge. If a centrifugal pump having an overall efficiency is 70 % is used for this purpose, determine the horse power needed

                           Data                                                                          

                                Density of methanol = 0.79 gm/cc

                                Viscosity of methanol = 0.66 c.p

Three forces are applied to an object, as shown in the figure. F1 Baseline has a magnitude of 24.0 newtons (24.0 N) and is directed 30.0° to the left of the +y axis. F2 has a magnitude of 14.9 N and points along the +x axis. What must be the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (specified by the angle theta in the drawing) of the third force F3 such that the vector sum of the three forces is 0 N?
