A water intake at a storage reservoir (see Fig. 16-28) has a cross-sectional area of 7.60 ft2. The water flows in at a speed of 1.33 ft/s. At the generator building 572 ft below the intake point, the water flows out at 31.0 ft/s. (a) Find the difference in pressure, in 1b/in. 2 , between inlet and outlet. (b) Find the area of the outlet pipe. The weight density of water is 62.4 lb/ft 3 .
