7  A large tank of water 1.5 meters deep drains through a tube from the
8  bottom/side 1 m long and 0.1 m in diameter, which rises 0.25 m from the
9  bottom, as shown below.

16  \item Calculate the velocities and pressures just inside the two ends of the
17    tube where the water is flowing out.  (Atmospheric pressure is 101300
18    $\rm\frac{N}{m^2}$.)
19  \item Calculate the thickness of the boundary layer at the exit of the tube
20    using the laminar and turbulent flow expressions.  Is the Bernoulli
21    equation likely to be accurate?
22  \item Using the laminar flow boundary layer expression, calculate the shear
23    stress on the tube wall 10 cm from its entrance.
