A pipe with a diameter of 0.50 m drains water from a large reservoir as shown in the schematic. The water exits the pipe at 62 m/s. How high is the water level in the reservoir? Assume that the dam holds a massive amount of water, such that the water level is stationary as the water drains out of the pipe below. Both the top of the reservoir and the outlet of the pipe are in contact with air.
