6. The pump shown in Fig, delivers a head of 250 ft to the water. Determine the power that the
pump adds to the water. The difference in elevation of the two ponds is 200 ft.
7. Three reservoirs are connected by three pipes as are shown in Fig. For simplicity we assume
that the diameter of each pipe is 1 ft, the friction factor for each is 0.02, and because of the
large length-to-diameter ratio, minor losses are negligible. Determine the flowrate into or out
of each reservoir.

8. Three reservoirs are connected by three pipes with an external demand at the common junction
of the pipes, as shown in figure Q. 2. Water surface elevations in reservoirs A, B, and C are
