Welded or riveted fuel tanks may be sealed by pouring a liquid sealant into the tank and allowing it to cover the entire inside of the tank. The surplus is poured out, and that which remains is allowed to cure. This method of sealing is called the tank.

Water is siphoned from a large tank and discharges into the atmosphere through a 50-mm diameter tube. the end of the tube is b = 2.6 m below the tank bottom which is a = 6.7 m deep, and viscous effects are negligible. determine the maximum height h over which the water can be siphoned without cavitation occurring. atmospheric pressure is 101.4 kpa, and the water vapor pressure is 1.79 kpa (absolute). report your answer in meters to two decimal places.
