A pipeline with a diameter of 0.9 m divides into three 0.45 m pipes at elevation 120 m. Each of the three 0.45 m pipes run into reservoirs which have surface elevations of 90 and 30 m and 60 m respectively. The three pipes have lengths of 3.2, 4.8 and 6.8 km respectively. If 1.4 m³/s flows into the 0.9 m pipe, how will the flow divide? Assume that f= 0.017 for all pipes.
