Fluid flow in a pipe

[ihatebluescrubs]

In a problem like this where water flows in the tunnel from left to right, and only two openings are seen (Pipe A and Pipe B), what would happen to the pressure and water level in Pipe A and Pipe B? Does the fact that Pipe B rises higher than Pipe A change any conditions to the points right below those points in the tunnel?

Read up on Bernoulli's equation.

So with the eq: P + 1/2(m)(v^2) +pgy = constant

I would expect that the y (height) for the two points below pipe A and B to be the same despite the fact that Pipe B has a "higher" pipe. So basically the water height and water flow should be the same for both?
