3
A pipe 200m long, 1.3 m in diameter carries water at 5 m Is from reservoir A
to a junction and discharges the water into reservoir B and C. All connecting
pipes are 1 m in diameter. The distance from the junction to reservoir B and C
are each 1500 m, and the elevation difference between A and B is 8 m.
determine the surface elevation at C (For all pipes F = 0.02).
