A pipeline 2.5 km long and 150 mm diameter supplies water from a reservoir to a small town storage tank. Calculate the (a) velocity (m/s) and (b) discharge (li/s) when the pipe outlet is freely discharging into the tank and the difference in level between the reservoir and the outlet is 15 m. Assume f = 0.04.
