Question

If the water pressure gauge shows the pressure at ground
floor to be 270 k Pa, how high would water rise in the pipes
of a building?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

27.6 m

Explanation:

Given :

Pressure = 270 k Pa = 270 × 10³ Pa

We have :

Density of water ρ = 10³ kg / m³

We know :

P = ρ h g

Taking value of 'g' = 9.8 m / sec²

Putting values here we get :

270 × 10³ = 10³ × h × 9.8

= > h = 270 × 10³ / 9.8 × 10³ m

= > h = 270 / 9.8 m

= > h = 27.6 m

Therefore , water would rise to 27.6 m in the pipe.
