A water tower (vented to the atmosphere) sits on top of a hill and a pipe from the water tower goes to your house. If the top surface of the water in the water tower is 135 ft above the valve at your kitchen sink, what is the pressure (in psi) at the valve when the valve is closed? If the valve were open and there were no frictional energy losses, what would be the velocity of the water coming out of the kitchen faucet (in ft/s)?
