Solution

The statement is True.

Here's the step by step explanation:

  1. The water pressure in the mains of a city at a particular location is 276 kPa gage. This is the pressure above atmospheric pressure.

  2. We need to convert this pressure into meters of water column to compare it with the 25 m height.

  3. The conversion factor is 1 kPa = 10.2 m of water column.

  4. Therefore, the pressure in the mains is equivalent to 276 kPa * 10.2 m/kPa = 2815.2 m of water column.

  5. Since 2815.2 m is much greater
