A group of TAs were playing with the water-tank system during the lab set-up meeting. They connected an LED to two alligator-clip leads and put them into the water to see if they could make the LED light-up.

A group of TAs were playing with the water-tank system during the lab set-up
meeting. They connected an LED to two alligator-clip leads and put them into the
water to see if they could make the LED light-up. If the voltage as a function of
position graph for the tank is as shown below, how far apart would they need to put
the alligator-clip-wires in the tank to light up an LED that has an operating voltage of
2 V?
