(II)What gauge pressure in the water pipes is necessary if a fire hose is to spray water to a height of 16 m?
Short Answer
The necessary gauge pressure in the water pipes is \(156960\;{\rm{kg/m}} \cdot {{\rm{s}}^2}\).

You need to siphon water from a clogged sink. The sink has an area of and is filled to a height of 4.0 cm. Your siphon tube rises 45 cm above the bottom of the sink and then descends 85 cm to a pail as shown in Fig. 10–59. The siphon tube has a diameter of 2.3 cm. (a) Assuming that the water level in the sink has almost zero velocity, use Bernoulli’s equation to estimate the water velocity when it enters the pail. (b) Estimate how long it will take to empty the sink. Ignore viscosity.
A ship, carrying fresh water to a desert island in the Carib-bean, has a horizontal cross-sectional area of \(2240\;{{\rm{m}}^2}\) at the waterline. When unloaded, the ship rises 8.25 m higher in the sea. How much water \(\left( {{m^3}} \right)\) was delivered?
(I)Show that Bernoulli’s equation reduces to the hydrostatic variation of pressure with depth (Eq. 10-3b) when there is no flow\(\left( {{v_1} = {v_2} = 0} \right)\).
