A Siphon for Irrigation A siphon is a device that allows water to flow from one level to another. The siphon shown in Figure 15–37 delivers water from an irrigation canal to a field of crops. To  operate the siphon, water is first drawn through the length of the tube. After the flow is started in this way it continues on its own. (a) Using points 1 and 3 in Figure 15–37, find the speed  of the water leaving the siphon at its lower end. Give a symbolic answer. (b) Is the speed of the water at point 2 greater than, less than, or the same as its speed at point 3? Explain.
