Question
![**Siphon Application in Fluid Dynamics**
A siphon is used to drain water from a tank as illustrated below. Assume steady flow without friction.
[Diagram Description: The diagram shows a siphon system, where water is drained from a tank. The tank is filled with water (indicated by the letter 'P'). The siphon consists of a curved tube. The vertical distance from the water surface in the tank to the top of the siphon is marked as 'y'. The vertical distance from the water surface to the exit point of the siphon is 'h'. The outflow of water is denoted by a velocity vector 'V' pointing horizontally away from the siphon.]
**(a) If \( h = 1.84 \, \text{m} \), find the speed of outflow at the end of the siphon.**
\(\boxed{ \, \, \, \, \, \, } \, \text{m/s}\)
**(b) What is the limitation on the height of the top of the siphon above the end of the siphon?** *Note: For the flow of liquid to be continuous, its pressure must not drop below its vapor pressure. Assume the water is at \( 14^\circ C \), at which the vapor pressure is \( 1.6 \, \text{kPa} \).*
\(\boxed{ \, \, \, \, \, \, } \, \text{m}\)](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/6a6622c9-cd53-498b-a695-e3d003e5cb5e/13ece9cd-e68f-4479-a5b5-8b779a13fd6a/m2qtjzk_processed.png)
