Please help with part c! Thanks!

A flexible tube can be used as a simple siphon to transfer fluid from one container to a lower container. The fluid has a density of 725 kg/m^3. See the dimensions given in the figure, and take atmospheric pressure to be 101.3 kPa. (If you need it, use g = 9.8 m/s^2.) (a) If the tube has a cross-sectional area that is much smaller than the cross-sectional area of the higher container, what is the speed of the fluid at point Z? (b) If the tube has a cross-sectional area that is much smaller than the cross-sectional area of the higher container, what is the speed of the fluid at point Y? (c) What is the absolute pressure at point Y?

Explanation / Answer

Here we need to find the pressure at point y.

We use the formula mentioned below.

Part c)

Pressure ( y) = P - (Density * g * h ) = 1.013 * 10 ^ 5 - ( 700 kg/m^3 * 9.8 * 0.60 m )

Pressure (y) =97.184 kpa ================ANSWER)
