6 1. Consider a spherical elevated water tank with a diameter of 30 feet. Thetop of the tank is 90 feet above the ground. Calculate the hydrostaticpressure at the ground level when:a. The tank is full.b. The tank is half empty.2. A high-rise building is 60 m tall. What should be the water pressure (in kpa)at ground level to overcome the elevation and deliver 600 kpa at thestandpipe on the roof? K:3. What pump head (in ft.) is required to provide 70psi pressure on the roofof a 170ft. high-rise building?
