Final answer:

The question relates to the required placement of controls within a transfer type shower compartment. Exact dimensions are not given, but typically they are installed within reach of a person using a wheelchair, per ADA guidelines. The supplied information about Bernoulli's principle in fluid dynamics is not directly applicable to this question.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question pertains to the installation specifications for transfer type shower compartments, specifically regarding the placement of controls, faucets, and the shower spray unit in relation to the seat within the shower. Unfortunately, the exact dimensions for the placement are not provided in the question. Generally, these should be installed within reachable distance for a person seated in the shower, according to ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) guidelines or other local building codes.

The reference information provided discusses the phenomenon of shower curtains moving inward when the shower is on and the similar effect of vehicles moving towards each other due to differences in air pressure created by high-velocity streams, known as the Bernoulli's principle. While this is related to fluid dynamics within Physics, it does not directly answer the student's question regarding shower compartment design.
