Question
A siphon tube is useful for removing liquid from a tank. The siphon tube is first filled with liquid, and then one end is inserted into the tank. Liquid then drains out the other end, as the drawing illustrates.
Derive an expression for the absolute pressure at the highest point in the siphon (point A) in terms of the atmospheric pressureP0, the fluid density?,g, and the heightshandy. (Note that the fluid speed at point A is the same as the speed of the fluid emerging from the tube, because the cross-sectional area of the tube is the same everywhere. Use any variable or symbol stated above as necessary.)
