Suppose that one such tank is cylinder shaped, 50ft high with a radius of 20ft. If we assume that water is pumped out of the tank via a pipe directly on top of the tank and that the tank is filled to a depth of 30ft, how much work (in ft-lbs) would be done by a pump to empty the tank? You may take the density of water to be 62.4 lbs/ft3

Pitot PipeBy connecting a mercury pressure gauge to a vertical pipeline through which water is transmitted, speed measurement is performed with a pitot tube.
