Consider a pipe that branches out into three parallel pipes and then rejoins at a junction downstream. All three pipes have the same diameters (D = 3 cm) and friction factors ( f = 0.018). The lengths of pipe 1 and pipe 2 are 5 m and 8 m, respectively, while the velocities of the fluid in pipe 2 and pipe 3 are 2 m/s and 4 m/s, respectively. The velocity of the fluid in pipe 1 is (a) 1.75 m/s (b) 2.12 m/s (c) 2.53 m/s (d) 3.91 m/s (e) 7.68 m/s
