A two floor building has two faucets, one in the basement and one in the first floor. The maximum water (\rho = 1000 kg/m3) velocity at the basement faucet, when the first floor faucet is closed, is 12m/s. The faucet diameter is 1.5 cm. Neglect all losses. (a) How much is the maximum velocity at the first floor faucet, when the basement faucet is closed? (b) What would be a maximum height (from the basement floor) for a faucet, to still get a maximum exit velocity of 5 m/s?

Question
A two floor building has two faucets, one in the basement and one in the first floor. The maximum water (\rho = 1000 kg/m3) velocity at the basement faucet, when the first floor faucet is closed, is 12m/s. The faucet diameter is 1.5 cm.
Neglect all losses.
(a) How much is the maximum velocity at the first floor faucet, when the basement faucet is closed?
(b) What would be a maximum height (from the basement floor) for a faucet, to still get a maximum exit velocity of 5 m/s?
