If you decide to help, please help with all the parts of the question, I'm not sure I understand any of it... :/
 
The tank shown in the following figure is being filled by Pipes 1 and 2. The water level is to remain constant.
 
A tank of water is open at the top. The tank is filled from above by pipe 1 and pipe 2. Pipe 1 has diameter d1 = 1 in., and fills the tank with water at a velocity of V1 = 2 ft/s. Pipe 2 has diameter d2 = 1.25 in., and fills the tank with water at a velocity of V2 = 1.4 ft/s. Water empties from the bottom of the tank through pipe 3. Pipe 3 has diameter d3 = 1.5 in., and empties water from the tank at an unknown velocity V3.
(a) What is the volume flow rate (in ft3/s) of Pipe 1?
(b) What is the volume flow rate (in ft3/s) of Pipe 2?
(c) What is the volume flow rate (in ft3/s) of water leaving the tank at 3?
(d) What is the cross-sectional area (in ft2) of flow for Pipe 3?
(e) What is the average velocity (in ft/s) of the water leaving the tank?
The tank shown in the following figure is being filled by Pipes 1 and 2. The water level is to remain constant.
Pipe 1:
d¡ = 1 in.
V1 = 2 ft/s
Pipe 2:
dz = 1.25 in.
V2 = 1.4 ft/s

Pipe 3:
dz = 1.5 in.
V3 = ?
