Question

Problem 3 Fluid pressure plays an important role of water towers i small towns. Use MATLAB to create a table that shows the relationship between the height of water above ground in the water tower and the water pressure in a pipe line located at the base of the water tower. The relationship is given by: Pagth where P- pressure at base of tower (Ibift2) (density of water is 1.94 slugs/ft3) g- gravitational acceleration (32.2ft/s2) h- height of water above ground (ft) Create a table that shows the water pressure in lb/in? in a pipe located at the base of the water tower as you vary the height of the water in increments of 10 ft. Use table headings "Tower height" and "Pressur" Also, pl ot the water pressure (b/in2) versus the height of water in feet (0to 200 ft). What should the water level in the water tower be to create 55 psi of water pressure in a pipe at the base of the water tower? Estimate this value by using values from the table

Explanation / Answer

height= (0:200:10);

pressure= 1.94*32.2*x. /144 ; % 1 ft2 = 144 in2

T= table

T.height =height' ;

T.pressure= pressure';
