Water towers store water above the level of consumers for times of heavy use, eliminating the need for high-speed pumps. How high (in m) above a user must the water level be to create a gauge pressure of 4.63 ✕ 105 N/m2?

Respuesta :

Answer:

So height will be 47.387 m

Explanation:

We have given gauge pressure [tex]P=4.63\times 10^5N/m^2[/tex]

Density of water [tex]\rho =997kg/m^3[/tex]

Acceleration due to gravity [tex]g=9.8m/sec^2[/tex]

We know that pressure is given as [tex]P=\rho gh[/tex]

[tex]4.63\times 10^5=997\times 9.8\times h[/tex]

[tex]h=47.387m[/tex]

So height will be 47.387 m
