Whiskey (SG = 0.6 and ν = 5.0 x 10-7 m2/s) is drawn from a large tank through a smoothed, rubber hose as shown in the figure. The total length of the hose to be used is 9 m and the length of the hose to point A is 3.25 m. The intended extraction of whiskey is 10 L/s and minor losses at the entrance are to be neglected.
