A twin jet unequal arm lawn sprinkler delivers a total discharge of 1.5 lps. Taking jet diameter as 0.9 cm and the distance from the axis of rotation to jets 15 cm and 30 cm and neglecting friction, find the speed of sprinkler and torque to keep the sprinkler stationary if both jets are in the same direction.
