A uniform tube is used to siphon water from the large tank. If the pressure on the outside of the tube (the atmospheric pressure) is more than 20 kPa greater than the pressure within the tube, the tube will collapse. By using Bernoulli's equation, determine the minimum value of h allowed without the siphon collapsing. The density of water is 1000 kg/m3. Hint: Since the tube is uniform the flow speed in it is constant. The exiting flow from the tube is treated as free jet. 2 m V SARA 1 4 m
