Problem 3. A 12-cm-diameter aluminum downspout drains the roof of a house with an elevation drop of 4.2 m. a When the gutter runs full, what would be the flow rate in liters per second? Assume the downspout is smooth (k, = 0) using the Swamee-Jain Equation. b The gutter is designed for a rain storm with a rainfall intensity of 5 inches per hour. At this rate, what area of roof in m² could be handled by the downspout? 4.2 m Water
