A 150 mm diameter siphon is discharging water from A to B over summit as shown in figure. The head loss is 1.5 m in each side from A to summit and summit to B. a = 1.8m and b = 6 m.

a. Find the absolute pressure at the summit in kilopascal

b. Find the rate of discharge through the pipe.

c. Will any cavitation occur?
