The pressure relief valve in your hot water heater (sizedesignation: Type G) has an orifice area of 0.503 in2 . It is setto open and relieve the pressure in the heater if it 23 reaches 150psi. The top of the pressure relief valve is located at the sameelevation as the top of the hot water tank. If the stream of waterleaving the relief valve is directed upward as a free jet and anyfriction losses through the orifice are ignored, how high can thestream of water rise above the heater (in ft). What is the velocityof the water as it leaves (in ft/s).  s
