A straight 30 cm pipeline 4.80 km long is laid between two reservoirs having surfaces at Elev 100 m and Elev. 50 m., entering the reservoirs 10 m beneath the free surfaces. To increase the capacity of the line, a 30 cm line 2.40 km long is laid from the midpoint of the original line to the reservoir. What increase in flow is gained by the installation of the new line? Use f=0.020 for all pipes.
