A 60-inch main carrying 90 cfs branches at a point x into two pipes, one 1,000 ft. long 4 ft. in diameter and one 4,000 ft. long 2 ft. in diameter. Both pipes come together at a point y and continue as a single 60-inch pipe. Assuming the values of the friction factor f as 0.02, 0.022, and 0.024, respectively, for the 60-in., 48-in., and 24-in. pipes, compute the rate of flow in pipe 3 in cfs. Round your answers in 2 decimal places.
