1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
A pump at ground level creates a gauge pressure of 102 kPa in the water line supplying an apartment building. The water leaves the tank into a pipe at a negligible speed. It travels 10m up through the building and exits through a faucet. The cross sectional area of the faucet is 2.0cm2. (use for water density ρ=1000kg/m3 and acceleration of g=10m/s2). What is the volume flow rate of water leaving the faucet in cm3/s ?
2. Relevant equations
3. The attempt at a solution
Q=A+((2)[(Pa-Pb)-(pgh)]/p)^1/2
