A water tower is a familiar sight in many towns. The purpose of such a tower is to provide storage capacity and to provide sufficient pressure in the pipes that deliver the water to customers. The drawing shows a spherical reservoir that contains 4.83 x 105 kg of water when full. The reservoir is vented to the atmosphere at the top. For a full reservoir, find the gauge pressure that the water has at the faucet in (a) house A and (b) house B. Ignore the diameter of the delivery pipes.

Expert Solution

Mass \(m=4.83 \times 10^{i}\) hg Density \(\rho=1000 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\) First, we have to find the diameter of the sphere The volume of water (V) in a spherical container is given by $$ \begin{array}{l} V=\frac{m}{\rho} \\ \text { or }=\frac{4.83 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{hg}}{1000 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}} \\ \text { or }=4.83 \times 10^{2} \mathrm{~m}^{3} \end{array} $$ Or $$ \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{2}=4.83 \times 10^{2} m^{3} $$ Or \(\quad r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{\left(4.83 \times 10^{2} m^{2}\right) \times 3}{4 \pi}} \quad\) [use \(\left.\pi=\frac{22}{7}\right]\) $$ \begin{array}{l} \text { Or } \quad=4.87 \mathrm{~m} \\ \text { Diameter }=2 \mathrm{r}=9.74 \mathrm{~m} \end{array} $$ (A) Required gauge pressure in house "A" is given by Or $$ \begin{aligned} P-P_{0} &=\rho g h &(\text { Where } h=2 r+15 \mathrm{~m}) \\ &=\left(1000 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\right)\left(9.8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\right)(9.74 \mathrm{~m}+15 \mathrm{~m}) \end{aligned} $$ Or \(=2.42 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{~Pa}\) (B) Required gauge pressure in house " \(\mathrm{B}^{\prime \prime}\) is given by $$ P-P_{0}=\rho g(2 r+15 m-7.30 m) $$ Or $$ =\left(1000 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{2}\right)\left(9.8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\right)(9.74 \mathrm{~m}+15 \mathrm{~m}-7.3 \mathrm{~m}) $$ Or \(=1.71 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{~Pa}\)

A water tower is being used to provide water to a subdivision. To ensure that it provides sufficient water pressure for the homes, fire hydrants, etc., it is built on top of a hill that, at an elevation 69.40 ft higher than the subdivision, hhill. The water in the tank is 55.70 ft deep, hwater, and the tower upon which it sits is 70.40 ft tall (htower), as shown in the figure below. The 12.200 in (inner diameter) pipe that...

A water tower supplies water to a city through a pipe with 1 ft diameter. The pipe is 0.5 miles long and is made of commercial steel pipe. Over the years, the supply line lost head and engineers are considering the replacement of 94 percent of the pipe length with a larger diameter pipe (same type). The peak water demand is 3.53 ft3/sec. How much pressure head could be gained by this strategy?

Question Objective: The purpose of this lab is for you to become familiar with Python’s built-in text container -- class str -- and lists containing multiple strings. One of the advantages of the str class is that, to the programmer, strings in your code may be treated in a manner that is similar to how numbers are treated. Just like ints, floats, a string object (i.e., variable) may be initialized with a literal value or the contents of another string...
