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.

The answer to this statement is true!
gravitational potential is directly proportional to the height of the object relative to a reference line and is given as
PE = mgh
where m = mass of object , g = acceleration due to
gravity and h = height of the object above the reference line .
as the skydiver falls , its height above the ground decrease and hence the gravitational potential energy of the skydiver decrease.
as per conservation of energy , total energy of the skydiver must remain constant all the time . hence the decrease in potential energy appears as increase in kinetic energy by same amount to keep the total energy constant
KE + PE = Total energy
so as the skydiver falls , it gains speed and hence the kinetic energy of skydiver increase since kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the speed.
when the parachute opens, the skydiver experience force in upward which tries to balance the weight of the skydiver. hence the speed of the skydiver decrease until upward force becomes equal to the downward force. hence the kinetic energy decrease just after the parachute opens
1 in=2.54 cm=(2.54 cm)(1 m/100 cm)=0.0254 m
Therefore:
1 in=0.0254 m
1 in³=(0.0254 m)³=1.6387064 x 10⁻⁵ m³
Therefore:
8.06 in³=(8.06 in³)(1.6387064 x 10⁻⁵ m³ / 1 in³)≈1.321 x 10⁻⁴ m³.
Answer: 8.06 in³=1.321 x 10⁻⁴ m³
