The valve in a piping system causes a 3.1 m head loss. If the velocity of the flow is 4 m/s, the loss coefficient of this valve is (a) 1.7 (b) 2.2 (c) 2.9 (d) 3.3 (e) 3.8

When the globe valve is fully opened, water at $20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ is discharged at $0.003 \mathrm{~m}^{3} / \mathrm{s}$ from $C$. Determine the pressure at $A$. The galvanized iron pipes $A B$ and $B C$ have diameters of $60 \mathrm{~mm}$ and $30 \mathrm{~mm}$, respectively. Consider the minor losses only from the elbows and the globe valve.
