Part-1:
Water is delivered from reservoir R to tank T by a pump that delivers 185 hp to the
system in order to maintain a flow of 8.6 ft3/sec. Determine the pressure at tank T.
For this situation the length (L) and internal diameter (D) are known, as is the rate
of flow. Determine the pressure (P).

Part-2:
The system in the figure discharges water as a free jet. If the inside diameter of the
pipe is 8 inches, determine the rate of flow leaving the system. In such situations L
and D give the flow rate.
