Homework Statement
The water supply of a building is fed through a main pipe
6.00 cm in diameter. A 2.00-cm-diameter faucet tap, located
2.00 m above the main pipe, is observed to fill a 25.0-L
container in 30.0 s. (a) What is the speed at which the water
leaves the faucet? (b) What is the gauge pressure in the
6-cm main pipe? (Assume the faucet is the only “leak” in
the building.)
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
a) is easy.
Flux=Av
b) Apply Bernoulli's. I understand how to solve. But it rises a question: The energy associated with pressure is being converted in potential energy per volume when the water ascends to the faucet, so that the kinetic energy per volume is constant? Is this true?
