Water flows from the tank shown in the figure below. At a depth of 1.5 ft the rate of change of depth is -0.004 ft/s. Determine the cross-sectional area of the tank. The total length of the 0.50-in.-diameter pipe is 16 ft, and the friction factor is 0.03. The loss coefficients are: 0.50 for the entrance, 1.5 for each elbow, and 10 for the valve.
