Consider a flow of water in pipe. What is the pressure gradient required to accelerate the water
Question:
Consider a flow of water in pipe. What is the pressure gradient required to accelerate the water at \(20 \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\) if the pipe is
(a) horizontal,
(b) vertical with the water flowing upward, and
(c) vertical with the water flowing downward. Explain why the pressure gradient depends on orientation and why the pressure gradient differs in sign between case (b) and case (c).
