Do you see any relation between the amount of bulge of the rubber balloon and the height of the water column in the pipe? Class 8

Answer:

The bulge of the balloon increases as the height of the water column increases.

Suppose you are living on the second floor of a three-story building and an overhead tank is placed on the top floor. Will you or your friend on the first floor receive a more powerful stream of tap water? Give reasons. Class 8

Answer:

Pressure exerted by water increases with the increase of height of the liquid column. The pressure of water will depend on the height of the overhead tank above the taps of the floor. My friend living on the first floor will have a longer distance from the taps to the overhead tank, which means the height of the water column above his taps will be more compared to my water taps on the second floor.
