Question

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 4.41 ✕ 105 N/m2?

Answer 1

Answer: Height should be 44.1 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pressure exerted by stationary water stored at a height is,

P = ρgh

4.41 ×
`10^(5)` = 1000× 10× h

solving we get,

h = 44.1 m
