The water level in a tank is 66 ft above the ground. A hose is connected to the bottom of the tank at the ground level and the nozzle at the end of the hose is pointed straight up. The tank cover is airtight, but the pressure over the water surface is unknown. Determine the minimum tank air pressure (gage) that will cause a water stream from the nozzle to rise 90 ft from the ground.
