area of 10 m² and 2.5 m², respectively, are
onnected by a 5 cm pipe, 100 m long, with

to flow from A to B? Considering entry and exit
losses, it can be grossly assumed that the flow
velocity, in m/s, through the pipe is 1.75√h,
where his in m, taking g = 10 m/sec², also, may
take area of pipe as 2 x 10-3 m²,
