(b) A storage tank with base area 40 m2 is being filled with water through a duct in which the volumetric flow rate is 12 L/s, as shown in Fig. 3.

The water system in a suburban area consists of an old 200mm pipeline 760m long which conveys water from a pump to a reservoir whose water surface is 107m higher than the pump.
