2 (a) A horizontal pipe-line 50m long is connected to a water tank at one end and discharge freely into the atmosphere at the other end. For the first 30m of its length from the tank, the pipe is 20mm diameter and its diameter is suddenly enlarged to 400mm. The height of water level in the tank is 10m above the center of pipe. Considering all minor losses, determine the rate of flow. Take f=0.01 for both sections of the pipe.
