The figure below shows a network of water pipes with flows measured in liters per minute.
The figure below shows a network of water pipes with flows measured in liters per minute. (a) Set up and solve a system of linear equations to find the possible flows. (Use the parameter t as necessary.) (f1?,f2?,f3?)=( (b) If the flow through AB is restricted to 35L/min, what will the flows through the other two branches be? f1?=f3?=?
(c) What are the minimum and maximum possible flows through each branch? ?f1???f2???f3??? (d) We have been assuming that flow is always positive. What would negative flow mean, assuming we allowed it? Give an illustration for this example. If a negative flow were allowed, it would mean a flow in the direction, so that a negative flow on f2? would mean a flow from into
