About once every 30 minutes, a geyser known as Old Faceful projects water 13.0 m straight up into the air. Use g = 9.80 m/s^2, and take atmospheric pressure to be 101.3 kPa. The density of water is 1000 kg/m^3. (a) What is the speed of the water when it emerges from the ground? m/s (b) Assuming the water travels to the surface through a narrow crack that extends 8.00 m below the surface, and that the water comes from a chamber with a large cross-sectional area, what is the pressure in the chamber? kPa

How high would water rise in the essentially open pipes of a building if the water pressure gauge shows the pressure at the ground floor to be $270 \mathrm{kPa}$ (about $40 \mathrm{lb} / \mathrm{in}^{2}$.)? Water pressure gauges read the excess pressure just due to the water, that is, the difference between the absolute pressure in the water and the pressure of the atmosphere. The water pressure at the bottom of the highest column that can be supported is $270 \mathrm{kPa}$. Therefore, $P=\rho_{w} p h$ gives $$ h=\frac{P}{\rho_{w} g}=\frac{2.70 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^{2}}{\left(1000 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\right)\left(9.81 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\right)}=27.5 \mathrm{~m} $$
Solve each problem. Pressure of a Liquid The pressure exerted by a certain liquid at a given point is directly proportional to the depth of the point beneath the surface of the liquid. If the pressure exerted at 30 feet is 13 pounds per square inch, what is the pressure exerted at 70 feet?

Saturated liquid water at $1000 \mathrm{kPa}$ flows at $2 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{s}$ inside a 10 -cm-outer-diameter steel pipe, and outside of the pipe is a flow of hot gases at $1000 \mathrm{K}$ with a convection coefficient of $h=150 \mathrm{W} / \mathrm{m}^{2} \mathrm{K}$ Neglect any $\Delta T$ in the steel and any inside convection $h,$ and find the length of pipe needed to bring the water to saturated vapor.
