Two pipes, A and B, are connected to an open water tank having a surface area of 1000 m². The water is entering the bottom of the tank from pipe A at 0.1 m³/s. While the water level in the tank is declining at 0.1 cm/s, it is not clear about the direction of gate valve opening in pipe B. Calculate the discharge through pipe B that is situated at the bottom of the tank. Is the flow entering or leaving the tank through pipe B? QB = 0; no flow through the pipe B. QB = 1.1 m³/s, water is leaving the tank through pipe B. QB = -99.9 m³/s, water is leaving the tank through pipe B QB = 0.9 m³/s, water is entering the tank through pipe B.

O QB = 0; no flow through the pipe B.
O QB = 1.1 m³/s, water is leaving the tank through pipe B.
O QB = -99.9 m³/s, water is leaving the tank through pipe B
QB = 0.9 m³/s, water is entering the tank through pipe B.
