A plastic tube of \(50 \mathrm{~mm}\) diameter is used to siphon water from the large tank as shown in Figure P11.22. If the pressure on the outside of the tube is \(25 \mathrm{kPa}\) greater than the pressure within the tube, the tube will collapse and the siphon will stop.

a. Where is the pressure in the tube lowest? Please prove it.

b. If the viscous effects are negligible, determine the minimum value of \(h\) allowed without the siphon stopping.
