How much extra pressure does a pump need to add


Problem

1. The main waterline into a tall building has a pressure of 90 psia at 16 ft elevation below ground level. How much extra pressure does a pump need to add to ensure a waterline pressure of 30 psia at the top floor 450 ft above ground?

2. A piston, mp = 10 lbm, is fitted in a cylinder, A = 2.5 in.2, that contains a gas. The setup is in a centrifuge that creates an acceleration of 75 ft/s2. Assuming standard atmospheric pressure outside the cylinder, find the gas pressure.

The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
