Two water reservoirs A and B are connected to each other through a 40-m-long, 2-cm-diameter cast iron pipe with a sharp-edged entrance. The pipe also involves a swing check valve and a fully open gate valve. The water level in both reservoirs is the same, but reservoir A is pressurized by compressed air while reservoir B is open to the atmosphere at 95 kPa. If the initial flow rate through the pipe is 1.5 L/s, determine the absolute air pressure on top of reservoir A. Take the water temperature to be 10°C.
