Question 24 / 33:  From what depth is it possible to "suck" water without causing cavitation?
A  100 m
B  50 m
C  39.3 m
D  33.9 m
E  33.9 ft
<< First < Previous Flashcard Next > Last >>
Explanation:

33.9 ft of water corresponds to 1 atm. Attempting to suck water from beyond that depth will result in boiling or cavitation. In fact, the depth will actually be slightly less than that because for the finite vapor pressure of water.
