60. A sump pump (used to drain water from the basement
of houses built below the water table) is draining a flooded
basement at the rate of 0.750 L/s, with an output pressure of
3.00×105N/m2.
(a) The water enters a hose with a 3.00-cm inside
diameter and rises 2.50 m above the pump. What is its pressure at
this point?
(b) The hose goes over the foundation wall, losing
0.500 m in height, and widens to 4.00 cm in diameter. What is the
pressure now? You may neglect frictional losses in both parts of
the problem.
