The water pressure on the first floor must be 455 PSI in order to push the water to the 13th floor at the given pressure.

The given parameters;

  • Pressure on the 13 th floor, P₁ = 35 PSI
  • Distance between each floor, d = 10 ft

The vertical pressure of the water is calculated as follows;

[tex]P = \rho gh\\\\\frac{P}{h} = \rho g\\\\\frac{P}{h} = k\\\\\frac{P_1}{h_1} = \frac{P_2}{h_2} \\\\[/tex]

The vertical height of the first floor from the 13th floor = 130 ft

The vertical height of the 13 ft floor = 10  ft

[tex]P_1 = \frac{P_2 h_1}{h_2} \\\\P_1 = \frac{35 \times 130}{10} \\\\P_1 = 455 \ PSI[/tex]

Thus, the water pressure on the first floor must be 455 PSI in order to push the water to the 13th floor at the given pressure.
