Answer:
The velocity is [tex]v_2 = 6.8 \ m/s[/tex]
The pressure is [tex]P_2 = 204978 Pa[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The speed at which water is travelling through is [tex]v = 1.7 \ m/s[/tex]
The pressure is [tex]P_1 = 205 k Pa = 205 *10^{3} \ Pa[/tex]
The diameter of the new pipe is [tex]d = \frac{D}{2}[/tex]
Where D is the diameter of first pipe
According to the principal of continuity we have that
[tex]A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2[/tex]
Now [tex]A_1[/tex] is the area of the first pipe which is mathematically represented as
[tex]A_1 = \pi \frac{D^2}{4}[/tex]
and [tex]A_2[/tex] is the area of the second pipe which is mathematically represented as
[tex]A_2 = \pi \frac{d^2}{4}[/tex]
Recall [tex]d = \frac{D}{2}[/tex]
[tex]A_2 = \pi \frac{[ D^2]}{4 *4}[/tex]
[tex]A_2 = \frac{A_1}{4}[/tex]
So [tex]A_1 v_1 = \frac{A_1}{4} v_2[/tex]
substituting value
[tex]1.7 = \frac{1}{4} * v_2[/tex]
[tex]v_2 = 4 * 1.7[/tex]
[tex]v_2 = 6.8 \ m/s[/tex]
According to Bernoulli's equation we have that
[tex]P_1 + \rho \frac{v_1 ^2}{2} = P_2 + \rho \frac{v_2 ^2}{2}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]205 *10^{3 }+ \frac{1.7 ^2}{2} = P_2 + \frac{6.8 ^2}{2}[/tex]
[tex]P_2 = 204978 Pa[/tex]
