Georgie owned a 3-storey apartment building, 12 meters high. He is wor chat not enough water will be supplied to the 3rd floor of the apartment building. Upon knowing that the city water pressure at the ground level is 30 psi, he decided to install a tank and a pump to boost the water pressure. Did Georgie made the right decision of installing a pump (Assuming total head loss is 10 psi)? No, Static head Plus head loss is less than the 30 psi city water pressure. No, the static head and head loss is too small compare to the 30 psi city water pressure. Yes, the static pressure alone exceeds the 30 psi city water pressure. Yes, Static head and loss exceeds the 30 psi city water pressure
