The U-tube acts as a water siphon. The bend in the tube is 1m above the water surface. The tube outlet is 7m below the water surface. The water issues from the bottom of the siphon as a free jet at atmospheric pressure. Determine the speed of the free jet and the minimum absolute pressure of the water in the bend. Given atmospheric pressure `=1.01xx 10^(5)N//m^(2),g=9.8 m//s^(2)` and density of water `=10^(3)kg//m^(3)`
