In the system shown in the figure, the pump moves 220 It/s of water through a system of horizontal pipes to the closed reservoir. The head of pressure at the pump inlet is -1.2 meters and at the outlet of 58 meters. Determine a) The pressure on the free surface of the water in the tank, b) Draw the total line of pressure and piezometric line. Use a hinge disc type foot valve.
