A 26.1 cm internal diameter water pipe brings city water into a water at a speed of 0.35 m/s. The city water pipe is 2.0 m below ground, and the water tower basin is 43 meters above ground. The pipe has an internal diameter of 13.2 cm from a circular nozzle. What is city water pressure in the below-ground pipe? Ignore other effects and losses (which are probably significant in a real plumbing). (Hints: The water exits into the air inside the tower, so the exit pressure is what? You also need the continuity equation to get the exit velocity at the top.)
