2. Do math to conserve!
The city needs to connect two houses to an existing
water supply line.
The city wants to use a single pump at the supply line,
instead of 2 pumps.
The city wants to use a minimal amount of pipe
extended to each house.
3. The houses are located at different distances from the
supply line (as pictured).
Where should the pump connection be located? Of
course, you must justify your answer.
House A
Connection
Point
House B
Connection
Point
Water Supply Line
Locate the PUMP somewhere along this supply line.
