A sump pump (used to drain water from the basement of houses built below the water table) is draining a flooded basement at the rate of 0.550 L/s, with an output pressure of 3.50 ✕ 105 N/m2. You may neglect frictional losses in both parts of this problem.   (a) The water enters a hose with a 3.00 cm inside diameter and rises 3.40 m above the pump. What is its pressure (in N/m2) at this point?   Answer ____________ N/m2  (NO scientific notation ONLY Real Number)   (b) The hose goes over the foundation wall, losing 2.00 m in height, and widens to 4.00 cm diameter. What is the pressure now (in N/m2)?

Question
A sump pump (used to drain water from the basement of houses built below the water table) is draining a flooded basement at the rate of 0.550 L/s, with an output pressure of 3.50 ✕ 105 N/m2. You may neglect frictional losses in both parts of this problem.
 
(a) The water enters a hose with a 3.00 cm inside diameter and rises 3.40 m above the pump. What is its pressure (in N/m2) at this point?
 
Answer ____________ N/m(NO scientific notation ONLY Real Number)
 
(b) The hose goes over the foundation wall, losing 2.00 m in height, and widens to 4.00 cm diameter. What is the pressure now (in N/m2)?
