Two pumps (Pump A and B) have performance curves which can be approximated by the following equations: H_A = 340 - (1.2(Q^2)), in feet H_B = 360 - (2.5(Q^2)), in feet where Q is in ft^3/s. If pumps A and B were to operate in parallel as depicted in the figure below, at what head (in ft.) should either pump be operated?

Question
Two pumps (Pump A and B) have performance curves which can be approximated by the following equations:
H_A = 340 - (1.2(Q^2)), in feet
H_B = 360 - (2.5(Q^2)), in feet
where Q is in ft^3/s.
If pumps A and B were to operate in parallel as depicted in the figure below, at what head (in ft.) should either pump be operated?
