The water pressure on the first floor must be 455 PSI in order to push the water to the 13th floor at the given pressure.
The given parameters;
- <em>Pressure on the 13 th floor, P₁ = 35 PSI</em>
- <em>Distance between each floor, d = 10 ft</em>
The vertical pressure of the water is calculated as follows;
The vertical height of the first floor from the 13th floor = 130 ft
The vertical height of the 13 ft floor = 10 ft
Thus, the water pressure on the first floor must be 455 PSI in order to push the water to the 13th floor at the given pressure.
