Problem 1. A water reservoir with dimensions of 10 x 10 × 10 m is connected to 3 pipes. Water is entering the tank at velocity u1 = 0.1 m/s through the inlet pipe, which has a cross-sectional area A1 0.5 m?. The bottom outlet pipe has a mass discharge rate of 30 kg/s. Given that currently the water surface is 3 m below the top outlet pipe, and the outlet pipe has a cross-sectional area A3 0.1 m²: 1. Determine the rate of mass increase in the reservoir. 2. How long will it take before the water surface reach the bottom surface of the top outlet pipe? 3. What would be the water velocity in the top outlet pipe? -A, 3m V, A, -M2 Figure 1: A water reservoir is connected to 3 pipes.
