In flat areas, water towers are used to supply water to houses. Water is pumped into the tower, and then directed from the tower to houses so that when people turn the water on there is water pressure. The top of the tower is vented to the atmosphere. (a) What is the gauge pressure (total pressure minus atmospheric pressure) at each of the two houses? (in Bernoulli's equation, if the water is not running, you can set v = 0 on both sides, and the external pressure in the water tower is just atmospheric pressure). (b) If a faucet is circular with diameter of 2.0 cm, what is the velocity of the water in each house? You can assume that the velocity of water within the tower is negligible.

1. In the benzene plant, the pressure drop at some point of a pipeline in which benzene is passing through is measured with a U-tube manometer (Rm,1) as 10 cm (1st situation). The manometer fluid is carbon tetrachloride (CC14). Then, in order to avoid CC14 poisoning, it is decided to add a layer of water to both arms of manometer (2nd situation). So, 4 cm of water is added to the left arm and 8 cm of water is added to right arm. In this new situation, what will be the height difference of manometer fluid (CC14) between the arms of the manometer (Rm,2)?
