Water is to be pumped to the top of the Empire State building, which is 366 m high. What gauge pressure (in Pa) is needed in the water line at the base of the building to raise the water to this height. Recall the weight density of fresh water is 9800 N/ m^3.

Water is to be pumped to the top of a skyscraper, which is 1.29e3 ft high. What gauge pressure is needed in the water line at the base of the building to raise the water to this height? (This building is about the same height as the Empire State Building in New York City.)
