The difference in water surface levels in two tanks, which are connected by three pipes in series
of lengths 400 m, 200 m, and 300 m and of diameters 400 mm, 300 mm, and 200 mm,
respectively, is 16m. Estimate the rate of flow of water if the coefficient of friction for these
pipes is same and equal to 0.005, considering: (i) minor losses also (ii) neglecting minor losses.
