Question
**Problem Statement:**

Determine the discharge in the pipe and the pressure at point B. The total head loss from the tank water surface to point B is 0.5 m; the total head loss from point B to the outlet is 1.5 m. The water temperature is 10°C. Assume turbulent flow at all locations. What is the pressure at point B?

**Diagram Description:**

- The diagram shows a tank filled with water, with a pipe extending horizontally from the tank and then vertically downwards.
- The water level in the tank is marked, and the horizontal section of the pipe extends 1.5 meters from the water surface of the tank to point B.
- Point B is a location on the pipe where the diameter is 40 cm.
- After point B, the pipe continues vertically downwards for 3.5 meters and ends with a 20 cm diameter nozzle.

**Answer Options:**

- \(5.75 \, \text{kPa}\)
- **7.97 kPa**  *(Selected answer)*
- \(4.64 \, \text{kPa}\)
- \(6.86 \, \text{kPa}\)
