Water at 15°C is pumped from a reservior at a rate of 0.1131 m3/s where the local atmospheric pressure is 94.6 kPa. The total head loss in the suction pipe is 1 m. From the manufacturer data, the NPSHrequired at this operating point is 7.8. Determine the maximum height hs (meters) before cavitation can occur. Round off your answer to 3 decimal places.
