A city uses a water tower to store water for times of high demand. When demand is light, water is pumped into the tower. When demand is heavy, water can flow from the tower with- out overwhelming the pumps. To provide water at a typical 350 kPa gauge pressure, how tall must the tower be?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The height of the tower will be 35.714 m

Explanation:

We have given gauge pressure [tex]P=350kPa=350\times 10^3Pa[/tex]

Density of water [tex]\rho =1000kg/m^3[/tex]

We have to find the height of the tower h

We know that gauge pressure is given by [tex]P=\rho gh[/tex]

[tex]350\times 10^3=100 0\times 9.8\times h[/tex]

[tex]h=35.714m[/tex]

So the height of the tower will be 35.714 m
