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 4.70 105 kg of water when full. (h = 6.80 m.) 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 each house. Ignore the diameter of the delivery pipes. (a) house A Pa (b) house B Pa
