The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates.

In order to locate the physical cache, solve the following mathematical problem in order to find the missing coordinates.

A hypothetical friction-less pump house has two pumps. Pump number one resides on the southern wall, has a 10 cm outlet and when running at full capacity has a velocity of 329.73 cm/sec. Pump number two has a 14 cm outlet, operates at a velocity of 322.89 cm/sec and resides on the eastern wall.

Calculating the volumetric flow rate at the outlet for each pump will determine the needed numbers. Round up for the southling metric and round down for the eastling metric.
