Question

Your town is installing a fountain in the main square. If the water is to rise 26 m (85.3 feet) above the fountain, how much pressure must the water have as it moves slowly toward the nozzle that sprays it up into the air? Assume atmospheric pressure equal to 100,000 Pa.

Answer 1

it has to gain sufficent force to rise which equals the weight of the height of the water.

We will calculate in gauge pressure...

pressure=force/area= density*area*height*g/area= density*g*height

height = 26m
density= 1.04E6kg/m^3
g= 9.8N/kg

so calcualate pressure, it ought to be about three atmosphers, or 3E5Pa

Answer 2

373000

Answer 3

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them.
