Sight Gauge

A water tower is a familiar sight in many towns...?

A water tower is a familiar sight in many towns. The purpose of such a tower is to provide storage capacity and to provide sufficient pressure in the pipes that deliver the water to customers. The drawing shows a spherical reservoir that contains 4.24 x 105 kg of water when full. The reservoir is vented to the atmosphere at the top. For a full reservoir, find the gauge pressure that the water has at the faucet in (a) house A and (b) house B. Ignore the diameter of the delivery pipes. faucet A is 15.0m faucet B is 7.3m

1. Where's the drawing dildo?
2. How the f*ck is that a question?
3. Measure the height of the water level ( inches above ground), then divide by 27.7 inches, that will give you gauge pressure (psig) at grade level.
