10PRACTICE PROBLEM
A waterline engineer wishes to add a fertilizer solution to a pipeline in a practice called fertigation. The gauge pressure of water flowing in a pipe is 17.5 kPa. The fertilizer solution of density 1020 kg/m3 is placed inside a tank. Determine the least height of the tank above the pipeline that drives the fertilizer solution through a connecting hose into the pipe.
