Q. A.2. A well is 14 m deep with 1 m depth of water at the bottom, i.e. 13 m is the distance from the ground to the water surface. You have a pump, which must be placed either in a well-house at the ground level, or within a dry parallel shaft located on the side of the well. Explain why will it not be possible to mount the pump at the ground level to raise water from the well? What is the minimum depth to which the well shaft must be drilled to allow the pump to raise water to the surface? Assume that the intake pipe accesses the well through the wall of the port-hole and that its inlet is 0.5 m below the surface of the water. Assume atmospheric pressure is 1010 hectopascals.

distance from the ground to the water surface. You have a pump, which must be
placed either in a well-house at the ground level, or within a dry parallel shaft located
on the side of the well. Explain why will it not be possible to mount the pump at the
ground level to raise water from the well? What is the minimum depth to which the
well shaft must be drilled to allow the pump to raise water to the surface? Assume that
