Help?Water is to be pumped to the top of a skyscraper. If the pump can create a gauge pressure (pressure above atmospheric pressure) of 8.50E+5 Pa, what is the height of the tallest building that it can service? DATA: g=9.8 m/s^2
IF the pump can produce a static pressure of 8.5e+5 Pa, then it can support a column of water, h h = P/(rho*g) = 8.5e+5/(1000*9.8) = 86.7 m h = 87m Now, the water will have no velocity, so you can't use it effectively, but that's not what the problem asks!
