Question: A plastic tube with radius ( R = 1 mathrm { ~cm } ) is placed at the bottom of a well

A plastic tube with radius \( R=1\mathrm{~cm}\) is placed at the bottom of a well on a hill slope. The second end of the tube is located close to a large bucket (capacity 200 liters \(=0.2\mathrm{~m}3\)). Once the syphone is primed (the tube is filled with water), the second end of the tube is inserted into a large bucket located downhill. The distance between the level of the water in the well and the level of the water in the bucket is \(\mathrm{y}=2\mathrm{~m}\). The distance between the level of the water in the well and the top of the tube is \( h=7\mathrm{~m}\).
a. What is the velocity of the water at the end of the pipe?
b. If the distance h gets increased (for example, by raising the top of the tube C ) at some point the syphon will stop working. For what value of \( h \) does the syphon stop working?
A plastic tube with radius \ ( R = 1 \ mathrm {
