The energy transfer in terms of work has the equation:

W = mΔ(PV)

To be consistent with units, let's convert them first as follows:

P₁ = 80 lbf/in² * (1 ft/12 in)² = 5/9 lbf/ft²
P₂ = 20 lbf/in² * (1 ft/12 in)² = 5/36 lbf/ft²
V₁ = 4 ft³/lbm
V₂ = 11 ft³/lbm

W = m(P₂V₂ - P₁V₁)
W = (14.5 lbm)[(5/36 lbf/ft²)(4 ft³/lbm) - (5/9 lbf/ft²)(11 lbm/ft³)]
W = -80.556 ft·lbf

In 1 Btu, there is 779 ft·lbf. Thus, work in Btu is:
W = -80.556 ft·lbf(1 Btu/779 ft·lbf)
<em>W = -0.1034 BTU</em>

A filled water tower sits on the top of the highest hill near a city. The cylindrical tower has a height of 55.0 m
Reika [66]

Answer:

539 kPa

Explanation:

Pressure equals density times acceleration of gravity times depth.

P = ρgh

Water has a density of 1000 kg/m³, and acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².

P = (1000 kg/m³) (9.8 m/s²) (55.0 m)

P = 539,000 Pa

P = 539 kPa
