Water is stored in a pressurised container at a height HT = 8 m. It then moves through a horizontal pipe which has a height Hp = 0.6 m off the ground. A fault occurs, and the water in the pipe is ejected vertically out of a valve, as shown in the figure. The jet reaches a maximum height H; off the ground. The density of water is p = 1000 kg/m³, and the gauge pressure in the tank is pt = 30 kPa.

a horizontal pipe which has a height Hp = 0.6 m off the ground. A fault occurs, and the
water in the pipe is ejected vertically out of a valve, as shown in the figure. The jet
reaches a maximum height H; off the ground.
