Find maximum elevation of ranger station above lake


Water is to be pumped from a lake to a ranger station on the side of the mountain. The flow rate is to be 95 gal/min, and the flow channel is a standard 1-in. Schedule 40 steel pipe (ID = 1.049 in.). A pump capable of delivering 8 hp (= -Ws) is available. The friction loss F (ft-lbf/lbm) equals 0.041 L, where L (ft) is the length of the pipe. Calculate the maximum elevation, z, of the ranger station above the lake if the pipe rises at an angle of 30 degrees.
