flooding of the chagres river was a problem with the construction of the panama canal. during occasional floods, the flowrate near barbacoas would rise as high as 600,000 gal/s compared to 7500 gal/s in the dry season. if the effects of friction must be considered, determine the diameter needed for a 1500 ft wrought iron pipe to carry away 75,000 gal/s. the water is released at sea level(a drop in elevation of about 200 ft). [hint: set up the equations and guess a diameter 10 ft to start.]
