Default Help With Finding Flow Rate Please!!!!

A pump at ground level creates a gauge pressure of 102 kPa in the water line supplying an apartment building. The water leaves the tank into a pipe at a negligible speed. It travels 10m up through the building and exits through a faucet. The cross sectional area of the faucet is 2.0cm^2. (use for water density 1000kg/m^3 and acceleration of g=10m/s^2). What is the volume flow rate of water leaving the faucet in cm^3/s ?

Are you speaking of a volumetric pump?
