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 72 ft from the ground.

A water tank open to the atmosphere at the top has two small holes punched in its side, one above the other. The holes are 4.60 cm and 11.0 cm above the floor. How high does water stand in the tank if the two streams of water hit the floor at the same place? _____________cm
The apparatus constructed by Eugenijus Umezius and Timothy Gasperich is
shown in the figure. When water is poured into any of the tube in the apparatus, flow
occurs until the levels are even and the pressure is equilibrated. The pressure at any
point in the apparatus depends only the depth of the water and not on the shape of the
tubes. Determine the absolute pressure (in Pa) at all points?

- In flat areas, water towers are used to supply water to houses. Water is pumped into the tower, and then directed from the tower to houses so that when people turn the water on there is water pressure. The top of the tower is vented to the atmosphere. (a) What is the gauge pressure (total pressure minus atmospheric pressure) at each of the two houses? (in Bernoulli's equation, if the water is not running, you can set v = 0 on both sides, and the external pressure in the water tower is just atmospheric pressure). (b) If a faucet is circular with diameter of 2.0 cm, what is the velocity of the water in each house? You can assume that the velocity of water within the tower is negligible.
