Water is pumped from the colorado river to supply grand


Solve the given parts of following problem:

Problem: Water is pumped from the Colorado River to supply Grand Canyon Village, located on the rim of the canyon. The river is at an elevation of 564 m and the village is at an elevation of 2094 m. Imagine that the water is pumped through a pipe 10.0 cm in diameter, driven by a single pump at the bottom end.

Part I: What is the minimum pressure at which the water must be pumped if it is to arrive at the village?

MPa

Part II: If 4000 m3 are pumped per day, what is the speed of the water in the pipe? Note: Assume the free-fall acceleration and the density of air are constant over this range of elevations. The pressures you calculate are too high for an ordinary pipe. The water is actually lifted in stages by several pumps through shorter pipes.
