5.6 recall and use the relationship for pressure difference:

pressure difference = height × density × g

∆p = h × ρ × g

∆p = pressure of the fluid (N/m2 or Pa)

h = height of the fluid (m)

ρ = density of the fluid (kg/m3)

g = gravitational field strength (N/kg)

· The bottom hole squirts water the furthest
· Because the water at the bottom has the greatest pressure
· Because in the formula ∆p = h × ρ × g, ρ is constant, g is constant and h is large
· So ∆p = large
