The fuid is lube oil.

The outlet nozzle is 1 inch and the static head above the nozzle is 0.3 m.

Why it smells of home work?

at 13cm x 13cm x 34 cm (6"x6"x1') with 1" drain looks to be abnormal .

Anyway Hint (even for homework)

- Flow through pipe - Q depends on static head (H), pipe friction, pipe diameter and Kinematic viscosity of fluid.

- Head is variable and Ht= H - Q(converted into cross section area)

- Solve these two equations. and submit to your professor for review and grading.
