Question: Problem 1 . A swimming pool drains down to a storm sewer through a pipe. Water exits the pipe 1 8 ft below the surface

Problem 1. A swimming pool drains down to a storm sewer through a pipe. Water exits the pipe 18 ft below the surface of the full swimming pool. The end of the pipe is open to the atmosphere.
(a) Neglecting the effects of viscosity, find the velocity of the water leaving the pipe (in ft/s) and determine the volumetric flowrate (in gal/min) for a 3 inch diameter pipe.
(b) If the pool is 50 ft long and 30 ft wide, estimate the time for the level in the full pool to drop by 4 ft.
