Water in a partially filled large tank is to be supplied to the roof top, which is 8 m above the water level in the tank, through a 2.5-cm- internal-diameter pipe by maintaining a constant air pressure of 300 kPa (gage) in the tank. If the head loss in the piping is 2 m of water, determine the discharge rate of the supply of water to the roof top in liters per second. The discharge will be L/s.
