The primary difference between a scientific theory and a scientific law is that a law:
allows scientists to predict how physical phenomenon will behave
explains why some physical phenomenon behave as they do
has been heavily tested through repeated experimentation
is a scientific model

Water is siphoned from a large tank and discharges into the atmosphere through a 50-mm diameter tube. the end of the tube is b = 2.6 m below the tank bottom which is a = 6.7 m deep, and viscous effects are negligible. determine the maximum height h over which the water can be siphoned without cavitation occurring. atmospheric pressure is 101.4 kpa, and the water vapor pressure is 1.79 kpa (absolute). report your answer in meters to two decimal places.
