Driven by pressurized air in a tank, water flows through pipes (L1₁ = 40 m, L2 = 80 m, L3 = 20 m) of 50 mm diameters, as shown in the figure below. Assuming the inside wall of the pipe is smooth, how much gage pressure p₁ is needed to provide a flow rate of 50 m³/h for water height h = 10 m? Neglect all minor head losses. The dynamic viscosity of water in this pipe is taken as 1.02x10- ³ N s/m².

Question

Read the question carefully and give me right solution according to the question 

Driven by pressurized air in a tank, water flows
through pipes (L₁ = 40 m, L2 = 80 m, L3 = 20 m) of
50 mm diameters, as shown in the figure below.
Assuming the inside wall of the pipe is smooth,
how much gage pressure p₁ is needed to provide
a flow rate of 50 m³/h for water height h = 10 m?
Neglect all minor head losses. The dynamic
viscosity of water in this pipe is taken as 1.02x10-
3 N s/m².
