Determine flow rates in the branching pipe system depicted in Figure P4.3.2 given the following WS elevation

Question:

Determine flow rates in the branching pipe system depicted in Figure P4.3.2 given the following WS elevation and pipe data (lengths and diameters):
Determine flow rates in the branching pipe system depicted in

All of the pipes are commercial steel (e = 0.045 mm), and the temperature of the water is 20°C. Also determine the pressure head (P/y) at the junction (height from J to P) if the elevation of the junction (J) is 2,070 m. Finally, is it possible to estimate the velocity head at the junction? (Recall that the velocity head at the junction was assumed to be negligible in branching pipe problems.)
