Hydraulics (Problem Set 3)

The document outlines Problem Set No. 3 for the Hydraulics course (CE 107) at the University of Eastern Philippines for the 2024-2025 academic year. It includes a series of fluid statics problems involving specific gravity, pressure calculations, and gage readings related to various liquid configurations. The problems require students to apply principles of fluid mechanics to determine specific gravities, pressures, and elevations in different scenarios.
