A 48-in. water main carries 79 cfs and branches into two pipes at point A. The branching pipes are 36 and 20 in. in diameter and 2800 and 5000 ft long, respectively. These pipes rejoin at point B and again form a single 48-in. pipe. If the friction factor is 0.022 for the 36-in. pipe and 0.024 for the 20-in. pipe, what will the discharge be in each branch?
