4. A three-pipe network is indicated in the figure below. The pipes in the network have a diameter of 200 mm, a 'C' factor of 100, and a length of 500 m. The nodal demands are all 1 L/s. The source reservoir has a water level of 110 m. Calculate the flows in the pipes and the pressure heads at the nodes.
