B. Two open tanks, (2) and (3) in the figure, are to be supplied with water from a reservoir (1) through a pipe branching at (0),15m below the surface level in the reservoir, the surface levels in the tanks 2 and 3 being 3m above and 3m below the junction point, respectively. The single pipe (supplying pipe from tank 1) will be 60m long and 7.5cm in diameter, while the branched pipes will have lengths of 30m and 45m for the higher and lower tanks, respectively. What should be the diameters of these branched pipes in order that each has the same capacity of 0.26m3min? The Darcy friction factor is f=0.032.
