Question: The pipe system shown in the figure below connects two reservoirs that have an elevation difference of 2 0 m . The pipe system consists

The pipe system shown in the figure below connects two reservoirs that have an elevation difference of 20 m . The pipe system consists of 200 m of \(50-\mathrm{cm}\) concrete pipe (pipe A), that branches into 400 m of \(20-\mathrm{cm}\) pipe (pipe B) and 400 m of \(40-\mathrm{cm}\) pipe (pipe C) in parallel. Pipes B and C join into a single \(50-\mathrm{cm}\) pipe that is 500 m long (pipe D ). For \( f=\)0.030 in all the pipes, what is the flow rate in each pipe of the system? Neglect all minor losses.
