A 5 m long vertical tube having cross sectional area 200 cm2 is placed in a water. It is filled with 15°C water, with the bottom closed and the top open to 100 kPa atmosphere. What is the pressure at the bottom of tube?
A 5 m long vertical tube having cross sectional area 200 cm2 is placed in a water. It is filled with 15°C water, with the bottom closed and the top open to 100 kPa atmosphere. What is the pressure at the bottom of tube? Correct Answer 149 kPa
∆P = ρ gH = gH/v = 9.80665 × 5/0.001001 = 48.98 kPa P(total) = P(top) + ∆P = 149 kPa.
