Consider a geyser that shoots water to a height of 28 m into the air. Density of water, rho = 1000 kg m-3, acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 ms-1, atmospheric pressure, Patm = 101250 Pa. How fast is the water traveling when it emerges from the ground, If the water originates in a chamber 44 m below the ground, what is the pressure there (consider there is NO friction within the chamber and that the water can be considered to be stationary)?

Question

Consider a geyser that shoots water to a height of 28 m into the air.
Density of water, rho = 1000 kg m-3, acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 ms-1, atmospheric pressure, Patm = 101250 Pa.

How fast is the water traveling when it emerges from the ground, If the water originates in a chamber 44 m below the ground, what is
the pressure there (consider there is NO friction within the chamber
and that the water can be considered to be stationary)?
