A certain part of cast iron piping of a water distribution involves a parallel section as shown in Figure Q2(b). Both parallel pipes have a diameter of 30 cm, and the flow is fully turbulent. One of the branches (pipe A) is 1500 m long while the other branch (pipe B) is 2500 m long. The flowrate through pipe A is 4 m³/s. If the friction factor of pipe A and pipe B are the same, determine flowrate through pipe B. Assume the water temperature is 15°C and disregard minor losses.
