4. Two pipes are connected to an open tank of water; pipe A and B have diameters of 8 in and 10 in, respectively. Water enters the bottom of the tank from pipe A at 9 fps, and the level in the tank is falling at a rate of 0.5 in/min. Assuming the tank has a cross section that is 8 ft x 12 ft, what is the velocity in pipe B? Is flow entering or leaving the tank from the pipe. Water @ 10° C Pipe A Pipe B
