Water at 60 F flows from the basement to the second floor in a two-story apartmentbuilding. You are asked to determine the pressure in the basement at point 1 (see figurebelow). The flow is through 0.75-in.-diameter copper pipe at a rate of Q = 2.67 x 10-2ft3/s and exits through a faucet of diameter 0.5 inch as shown in the figure.Makesurethatyou account for both major and minor head losses in the system.
