Question 7.
For the flow of an ideal and incompressible fluid (water) in the system shown in the figure:
a. Describe the properties of the flow at the pipe AB (uniform/non-uniform and/or steady/unsteady).
b. Compute the discharge (Q) of the system.
c. Determine the mean velocities at the sections A, B, and C of the pipe.
