From Bernoulli's principle:
(a)
Since it has the same velocity, the equation is reduced to:
P2 is obtained as:
A sump pump (used to drain water from the basement of houses built below the water table) is draining flooded basement at a rate of 0.750 L/s, with an output pressure of 3.00x105 N/m2.
(a) The water enters a hose with a 3.00-cm inside diameter and rises 2.50 m above thew pump. What is the pressure at this point?
(b) the hose goes over the foundation wall, losing 0.500 m in height, and widens to 4.00 cm in diameter. what is the pressure now? You may neglect frictional losses in both parts of the problem.
