A horizontal pipeline 20 cm in diameter and 1500m long connects to reservoir

having a difference of 3 m between surface elevations. Assuming the loss of
energy in the pipeline to be 1.5 m, determine:
A.)The rate of flow in the pipe
B.)The pressure midway in the pipeline. Use per meter length head loss.
C.) The water demand increases twice at the lower reservoir. Do the pipeline
size likewise to double? Show your justification.
