The house located on a hill as shown is flooded by a broken waterline. The frantic owners siphon water out of the basement window and down the hill in the backyard, with one hose, of length L, and thus an elevation difference of h to drive the siphon. Water drains from the siphon, but too slowly for the desperate home owners. They reason that with a larger head difference, they can generate more flow. So they get another hose, same length as the first, and connect the 2 hoses for total length 2L. The backyard has a constant slope, so that a hose length of 2L correlates to a head difference of 2h. a. Assume no head loss, and calculate whether the flow rate doubles when the hose length is doubled from Case 1 (length Land height h) to Case 2 (length 2L and height 2h). b. Assume hL = 0.025(LID)(V2 /2g), and calculate the flow rate for Cases I and 2, where D = I in., L = 50 ft., and h = 20ft.
