*5-20. A fire hydrant supplies water under a pressure of 35 psi. If a 3-in.-diameter hose is connected to it at A and the hose extends 80 ft to the fire truck inlet at B, determine the pressure of the water as it arives at B. The friction loss is 15 ft for every 100 ft of hose. The inlet at Bis 1.5 ft higher than the hydrant outlet.
