Please state any assumptions required to solve problem

Transcribed Image Text:5.118 Water is pumped from the tank shown. The head loss is
known to 1.2 V²/(2g) where V is the average velocity in the
pipe. According to the pump manufacturer, the relationship
between the pump head and the flowrate is as shown and
given by h = 20 - 2000 Q² where he is in meters and Q is in
m³/s. Determine the flowrate Q for this system.
