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 2.00m above the main pipe, is observed to fill a 25.0L container in 30.0s. (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

Water at a gauge pressure of 3.8 atm at streetlevel flows into anoffice building at a speed of 0.40 m/s through a pipe 5.2cm indiameter. The pipe tapers down to 2.6 cm in diameter by thetopfloor, 20 m above, where the faucet has been left open.Calculatethe flow velocity and the gauge pressure in such a pipeon the topfloor. Assume no branch pipes and ignore viscosity.

Wate (density 1000kg/m3) enters a house through themain water line on the first floor. when the water is at rest, theline has a gauge pressure of 2.00 x 105 Pa at thatpoint. (a) A aucet on the second floor, 5.90 m above the firstfloor, is turned off. Waht is the gauge pressure at thisfaucet?(hint: Use Bernoulli's equation. What are he velocities?)(b) How high could a faucet be before no water would flow from it,even if the faucet were open?(hint: If no water flows out of theopen faucet, what is the gauge pressure there?)

Thank for your help, it is greatly appreciated.
