The drinking water needs of an office are met by large water bottles. One end of a 0.35-in-diameter, 6-ft-long plastic hose is inserted into the bottle placed on a high stand, while the other end with an on/off valve is maintained 3 ft below the bottom of the bottle. If the water level in the bottle is 1 ft when it is full, determine how long it would take to fill an 8-oz glass (= 0.00835 ft3) (a) when the bottle is first opened and (b) when the bottle is almost empty. Take the total minor loss coefficient, including the on/off valve, to be 2.8 when it is fully open. Assume the water temperature to be the same as the room temperature of 70°F.
