Answer: (a) P = 245kPa;
(b) P = 173.5 kPa
Explanation: <u>Gauge</u> <u>pressure</u> is the pressure relative to the atmospheric pressure and it is only dependent of the height of the liquid in the container.
The pressure is calculated as: P = hρg
where
ρ is the density of the liquid, in this case, water, which is ρ = 1000kg/m³;
When it is full the reservoir contains 5.25×10⁵ kg. So, knowing the density, you know the volume:
ρ =
V = ρ/m
V =
V = 525 m³
To know the height of the spherical reservoir, its diameter is needed and to determine it, find the radius:
V =
r =
r = 5.005 m
diameter = 2*r = 10.01m
(a) Height for House A:
h = 15 + 10.01
h = 25.01
P = hρg
P = 25.01.10³.9.8
P = 245.10³ Pa or 245kPa
(b) h = 25 - 7.3
h = 17.71
P = hρg
P = 17.71.1000.9.8
P = 173.5.10³ Pa or 173.5 kPa
