In the figure below is shown a tank discharging water to atmospheric pressure through a 2" standard pipe. Total frictional and contraction losses in exit line amount to 28.5 feet of water head. With water level held constant in the tank, the discharge flow is 101.2 gpm. Density of water is 62 lb/ft 3.

Under these conditions the water level [ft] from the centerline of the pipe is closest to:
