QUICKLY AND CORRECTLY PLEASE

A 10-hp pump (installed a the ground level) draws water from a well 30 ft below ground level and free discharge into a pipe 300 ft above ground at a speed of 10 ft/sec. There is no change in the water’s internal energy, temperature, pressure, or specific volume during the process and neglecting initial kinetic energy. (a) What is the maximum water flow rate possible in gal/min? (b) What should be the size of discharge pipe (in inches) to achieve 10 ft/sec speed of water.
