Three reservoirs A, B and C at water levels of 25 m, 12 m and 8 m are connected by a pipe network. 1200 m length pipe of  diameter 0.5 m and f = 0.013 draws water from A. 1000 m length pipe of diameter 0.4 m and f = 0.015 draws water from B and joins the pipe end from A. The reservoir C is connected to this junction by 900 m length of pipe 0.6 m diameter with f = 0.011 a)What would be the direction of flow? Reservoir A and B feed reservoir C. Reservoir B and C feed reservoir A. Reservoir C feeds reservoirs A and B. Reservoir A feeds reservoirs B and C.   b) If the flow in the 900m pipe is 0.60 m^3/s, what would be the flow in the 1000m pipe?

Question

Three reservoirs A, B and C at water levels of 25 m, 12 m and 8 m are connected by a pipe network. 1200 m length pipe of  diameter 0.5 m and f = 0.013 draws water from A. 1000 m length pipe of diameter 0.4 m and f = 0.015 draws water from B and joins the pipe end from A. The reservoir C is connected to this junction by 900 m length of pipe 0.6 m diameter with f = 0.011

a)What would be the direction of flow?

Reservoir A and B feed reservoir C.
Reservoir B and C feed reservoir A.
Reservoir C feeds reservoirs A and B.
Reservoir A feeds reservoirs B and C.
 
b) If the flow in the 900m pipe is 0.60 m^3/s, what would be the flow in the 1000m pipe?
