### Transcription for Educational Website **Question 5:** The water in the right figure is flowing steadily. What is the flow rate? **Diagram Explanation:** The diagram depicts a large water tank with water flowing through a 3-inch steel pipe. The tank is labeled as "Very large" to imply that it has a sufficient supply to maintain steady flow. The water level in the tank is shown to be 10 ft from the bottom, indicating the height of the water column. Below the tank, the water flows out through the 3-inch diameter steel pipe. The height from the base of the tank to the point where the pipe begins is also marked as 10 ft. Understanding this setup is crucial to calculating parameters such as flow rate, using principles from fluid dynamics.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Total head for water h =10+10=20 ft

Velocity of water coming from pipe will be given by,

V=2ghV=2(32.2)(20)V=35.89 ft/s
