An engineer planning a water system for a new community estimates that at maximum expected usage, the pressure drop between the central system and the farthest planned fire hydrant will be 25 psi. Firefighting personnel indicate that a gage pressure of 40 psi at the fire hydrant is required. The weight density of the water is γ = 62.4 lb/ft3. How tall would a water tower at the central system have to be to provide the needed pressure?
