A water tower supplies water through the plumbing in a house. A 3.43-cm-diameter faucet in the house can fill a cylindrical container with a diameter of 41.9 cm and a height of 52.0 cm in 12.0 s. How high above the faucet is the top of the water in the tower? (Assume that the diameter of the tower is so large compared to that of the faucet that the water at the top of the tower does not move.) m
