(17) The water level in a tank is above ground. A hose is connected to the bottum of the tank, and the norsle at the end of the hose is pointed streight up The tank cover is oistight and the air pressure above the water surface is 2 atm gage. The system is at sea level. Determine maximum height to which the water stream could rise, assuming no loss involved in the flow path. Water density pressuve .
Expert Answer
To determine the maximum height to which the water system could rise, we need to consider the balance between the pressure from the water column and the atmospheric pressure.First, let's convert the pressure values to absolute pressure:Atmospheric pressure (1 atm gauge) = 1 atm + 1 atm = 2 atm absolute1 atm absolute = 101325 Next, we'll calculate the pressure at the bottom of the tank due to the water column:Pressure at the bottom of the tank = Pressure due to water column + Atmospheric pressure
