4.3 An incompressible fluid flows at a rate of 0.015 m³/s through a pipe AB with a diameter of 0.1 m. The pipe branches at B to three smaller pipes. These are: BC-diameter 0.02 m, BD-diameter 0.025 m and BE-diameter 0.05 m. If the flow rate in BC is three times the flow rate in BE, and the average velocity in BD is 4 m/s, calculate the flow rate in the three branches and determine the velocity in AB, BC, and BE.

4.3 An incompressible fluid flows at a rate of
0.015 m³/s through a pipe AB with a diameter
of 0.1 m. The pipe branches at B to three
smaller pipes. These are: BC-diameter 0.02 m,
BD-diameter 0.025 m and BE-diameter 0.05 m.
If the flow rate in BC is three times the flow rate
in BE, and the average velocity in BD is 4 m/s,
calculate the flow rate in the three branches
and determine the velocity in AB, BC, and BE.
