A car runs out of gasoline (p = 750 kg/m3). A siphon (4 mm-diameter hose) is used to siphon gasoline from a gas tank of another car into a gas can. To start the siphon, two ends of siphon is inserted into the full gas tank and the gas can (below the level of gas tank), respectively. Gasoline fills the hose via suction, and AP between point 1 and point 2 causes liquid to flow from the higher to the lower elevation. Disregard frictional losses in the siphon. Patm is 101.3 kPa. Determine (a) minimum time to withdraw 4 L of gasoline from the tank to the can and (b) pressure at point 3.
