Question
A submersible pump is put under the water at the bottom of a well and is used to push water up through a pipe. What minimum output gauge pressure must the pump generate to make the water reach the nozzle at ground level, 75 m above the pump?

Answer:
The Required pressure for this situation is P= 735000Pa
Explanation:
In Determining the required pressure in this situation we use two equations
First one is
F = mg = (ρhA)g
And Second one is
P =
= (ρhAg)/A Where P is pressure
We get
P = ρhg
since g = 9.8 m/s and h is given that is 75m and ρ =
so
P = (9.8 m/s)(
)(75) we get
P = 735000 Pa
