Volume flow rate

[Bolter]

Homework Statement

See below

Relevant Equations

volume flow rate = vA

Made an attempt at this Q but I'm unsure on how to do part c) or if I had even done part a) and b) right

What difference does it make to the volume flow rate equation when the valve goes from open to closed?

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

How can there be 1m³/s flowing in and 1m³/s going out of both outlets?

So do I assume that the inlet has 1 m^3/s flowing in
and both outlets at the end have 0.5 m^3/s flowing out

For this system, yes.
