Calculate the gauge pressure in the pipe on the top floor

Reference no: EM13343559

Water at a gauge pressure of P = 4.8 atm at street level flows into an office building at a speed of 0.98m/sthrough a pipe 5.6 cm in diameter. The pipe tapers down to 2.0 cm in diameter by the top floor, 16 m above, where the faucet has been left open. Assume no branch pipes and ignore viscosity.

A) Calculate the flow velocity.

B) Calculate the gauge pressure in the pipe on the top floor.
