Chapter 2, Problem 2.9P
A storage tank, 26 ft in diameter and 36 ft high, is filled with SAE 30W oil at 20°C. (a) What is the gage pressure, in lbf/in2, at the bottom of the tank? (b) How does your result in (a) change if the tank diameter is reduced to 15 ft? (c) Repeat (a) if leakage has caused a layer of 5 ft of water to rest at the bottom of the (full) lank.

You are out at your grandparents property where they store rainwater in large tanks for later use.
On hot sunny days, they release water from the hose at the bottom and water jets upwards into a fountain for the livestock to cool down. The tank is airtight currently to keep the water clean and is pressurized to a gauge pressure of
p= 131.69kPa. You can assume standard atmospheric pressure 101.3 kPa, the density of water rhow = 1003kg/m3, acceleration due to gravity 9.81 m/s?, and the nozzle of the hose is in line with the bottom of the tank.
Given the current depth of water in the tank is d = 9m, how high can the water freely rise as it exits the hose if friction is neglected?
Provide your answer to 2 decimal places.
