As shown in the figure, the water flows from the ground floor of a three-storey house to the second floor through pipes of 20 mm diameter (average roughness of the pipe material = 0.0015 mm) at a volumetric flow rate of 0.75 L / s. Water is discharged from the system to atmospheric pressure through a tap with a 12 mm diameter outlet. There are 4 winged elbows, one ball valve and one faucet throughout the installation. Calculate the effective pressure at point 1.

As shown in the figure, the water flows from the ground floor of a three-storey house to the second floor through pipes of 20 mm diameter (average roughness of the pipe material = 0.0015 mm) at a volumetric flow rate of 0.75 L / s. Water is discharged from the system to atmospheric pressure through a tap with a 12 mm diameter outlet. There are 4 winged elbows, one ball valve and one faucet throughout the installation. Calculate the effective pressure at point 1.
