2. A piping system connecting two large open water tanks is shown below. The pipeline characteristics and friction coefficients are provided in the following table. Determine (a) the flow rate in each pipe of the piping system (\(\mathrm{Q}_{\mathrm{A}},\mathrm{Q}_{\mathrm{B}}\), and \(\mathrm{Q}_{\mathrm{C}}\)),(b) the head loss in pipe A , and (c) the pressure at the junction J.(Neglect minor head losses.)
