Question: ( 2 8 pt ) Reservoirs A , B , and C are connected as shown in the figure below. Suppose that pipe 1 (

(28 pt) Reservoirs A,B, and C are connected as shown in the figure below. Suppose that pipe 1(AJ) is 30-in PVC,7000ft long; pipe 2(BJ) is 24-in PVC,4000ft long; and pipe 3(CJ) is 30-in concrete (general),1500ft long. The elevation of the water surfaces in reservoirs A and B are 275 and 265ft, respectively, and the discharge through pipe 1 is 30ft3s(or cfs). The water temperature is 50F. Using the Darcy-Weisbach equation for pipe friction losses, find the elevation of the surface of reservoir C. You can do this Type I (3-Reservoir) problem by hand or in Excel. Neglect minor losses. (Answer is between 230-260ft)
