Expert Solution
Step 1: Determining velocity of flow in pipe 2

V e l o c i t y space i n space p i p e space 1 comma space V subscript 1 equals 5 space f t divided by s
V e l o c i t y space i n space p i p e space 3 comma space V subscript 3 equals 7 space f t divided by s
D i a m e t e r space o f space p i p e space 1 comma space D subscript 1 equals 6 " equals 0.5 space f t
D i a m e t e r space o f space p i p e space 2 comma space D subscript 2 equals 6 " equals 0.5 space f t
D i a m e t e r space o f space p i p e space 3 comma space D subscript 3 equals 3 " equals 0.25 space f t
Q subscript 1 equals Q subscript 2 plus Q subscript 3
A subscript 1 V subscript 1 equals A subscript 2 V subscript 2 plus A subscript 3 V subscript 3
straight pi over 4 D subscript 1 superscript 2 cross times V subscript 1 equals straight pi over 4 D subscript 2 superscript 2 cross times V subscript 2 plus straight pi over 4 D subscript 3 superscript 2 cross times V subscript 3
straight pi over 4 cross times 0.5 squared cross times 5 equals straight pi over 4 cross times 0.5 squared cross times V subscript 2 plus straight pi over 4 cross times 0.25 squared cross times 7
V subscript 2 equals 3.25 space f t divided by s
