A fire hydrant supplies water under a pressure of 190 kPa. A 100-mm-diameter hose is connected to it at A and the hose extends 40 m to the fire truck inlet at B. B. Part A Determine the pressure of the water as it arrives at B. The friction loss is 1.5 m for every 10 m of hose. The inlet at B is 0.5 m higher than the hydrant outlet.
