Fluid Mechanics Viscosity Question 161
Question: Figure shows a siphon, the vessel area is very large as compared to cross section of tube. Tube has a uniform cross section, its lower end is 6m below the surface of water. What is maximum height H (in m) of the upper end for siphon to work? Take density of water$ =10^{3}kg/m^{3} $ , atmospheric pressure$ =10^{5}N/m^{2}. $
Solution:
Answer: 4.00
