A storage tank is connected to a pond (at atmospheric pressure!) by a length of 4-in pipe

Question:

A storage tank is connected to a pond (at atmospheric pressure!) by a length of 4-in pipe and a gate valve. From previous operating experience, it has been found that when the tank is at a pressure of \(3 \mathrm{~atm}\), the flow through the pipe is \(35 \mathrm{~m}^{3} / \mathrm{h}\) when the gate valve is fully open. If the pressure in the tank increases to \(5 \mathrm{~atm}\), what will be the maximum discharge rate from the tank?
