Three pipes are connected in series with properties given as: for pipe A, L= 300 m, diameter = 15 cm, for pipe B, L= 400 m, diameter= 20 cm and for pipe C, L= 600 m, diameter= 25 cm. Manning's coefficient of the three pipes is n= 0.011. If the total frictional loss is 5 m, excluding minor losses, determine the amount of water flowing through the pipe system. Include the diagram in your solution.   a.35 L/s b.20 L/s c.25 L/s d.30 L/s
