here is the question

The water at 20C\displaystyle 20^{\circ}C in a 10\displaystyle 10-m-diameter, 2\displaystyle 2-m-high aboveground swimming pool is to be emptied by unplugging a 5\displaystyle 5-cm-diameter, 25\displaystyle 25-m-long horizontal plastic pipe attached to the bottom of the pool. Determine the initial rate of discharge of water through the pipe and the time (hours) it would take to empty the swimming pool completely assuming the entrance to the pipe is well-rounded with negligible loss. Take the friction factor of the pipe to be 0.022\displaystyle 0.022. Using the initial discharge velocity, check if this is a reasonable value for the friction factor.

i think this question can be solved by Bernoulli equation
the density of water isn't given and i can't assume it's 1000\displaystyle 1000 because there's temperature involve over there
what should i do in this case?☹️

As I read the problem statement, the temperature does not change during the flow of fluid - so you can safely assume the density of flowing water is 1000 (units?).

You'll need to use calculus to calculate the time required to empty the tank - since the water-level will be constantly changing (hence the pressure will be a function of time) .

the energy equation
p1ρ+v122+z1g=p2ρ+v222+z2g\displaystyle \frac{p_1}{\rho} + \frac{v^2_1}{2} + z_1 g = \frac{p_2}{\rho} + \frac{v^2_2}{2} + z_2 g

it's usually written
p1ρg+v122g+z1=p2ρg+v222g+z2\displaystyle \frac{p_1}{\rho g} + \frac{v^2_1}{2g} + z_1 = \frac{p_2}{\rho g} + \frac{v^2_2}{2g} + z_2

the question involve friction so i need to add head loss term in the equation, hL\displaystyle h_L

p1ρg+v122g+z1=p2ρg+v222g+z2+hL\displaystyle \frac{p_1}{\rho g} + \frac{v^2_1}{2g} + z_1 = \frac{p_2}{\rho g} + \frac{v^2_2}{2g} + z_2 + h_L

hL=fLv222gD\displaystyle h_L = \frac{fLv^2_2}{2gD}

i'll chose the pipe as ground so z2=0\displaystyle z_2 = 0 and the surface of the pool as z1\displaystyle z_1
there's no velocity at the surface of the pool so v1=0\displaystyle v_1 = 0
pressure at pool surface equal to the pressure at pipe exit and both is atmosphereic so they cancel each other

z1=v222g+fLv222gD\displaystyle z_1 = \frac{v^2_2}{2g} + \frac{fLv^2_2}{2gD}

is my analize correct?😣
