What pressure is necessary to deliver the flow


So9lve the below:

Q: Through a pipe 15.0 cm in diameter, water is pumped from the Colorado River up to 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 2 096 m.

(a) What is the minimum pressure at which the water must be pumped if it is to arrive at the village?

(b) If 4 500 m3 are pumped per day, what is the speed of the water in the pipe?

(c) What additional pressure is necessary to deliver this flow?

Note: Assume that the free-fall acceleration and the density of air are constant over this range of elevations.
