A pipe 977 m long branches into 3 pipes at junction A.
The three pipes span 1046 m, 885 m, and 796 m. They
come together at junction B and continue as a single pipe
for 1224 m. All pipes are 300 mm in size except the
shortest one which is 250 mm. The pressure drop
between the junctions is 260 kPa. Friction factor "f" can
be assumed 0.02 in the entire system. Calculate the rates
of flow in the branching pipes.
