The air pressure outside the pipe is one atmosphere. Find the maximum depth from which this pump can extract water from the well.

Consider the pump on the right side of the drawing, which acts to reduce the air pressure in the pipe. The air pressure outside the pipe is one atmosphere. Find the maximum depth from which this pump can extract water from the well.

Explanation / Answer

one atmosphere is 101325Pa,

P2=P1+pgh,

101325Pa/9.8N/1000=10.3m
