Question
A pipeline, 50 cm diameter and 4,500 m long,
connects two reservoirs whom constant
difference of water level is 12 m. A branch pipe,
1,250 m long and taken from a point distant
1,500 m from reservoir A, leads to reservoir C
whose water level is 15 m below that of reservoir
A. Find the diameter, in centimeters, of the
branch pipe, so that the flow into both the
reservoirs is the same. Assume friction
coefficient 4f = 0.03 for all the pipes.
a) 52.5
b) 13.7
c) 19.2
d) 26.8
e) 37.5
