Given that the pipe has varying cross-sections.
The diameter of one section is d1 = 9.1 cm and the diameter of second section is d2 = 12.6 cm.
Also, the fluid has the density,
[tex]\rho=3.43gcm^{-3}[/tex]The area of the cross-section for the first section is
[tex]\begin{gathered} A_1=\frac{\pi(d1)^2}{4} \\ =\frac{\pi(9.1)^2}{4}cm^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]The area of the cross-section for the second section is
[tex]\begin{gathered} A_2=\frac{\pi(d2)^2}{4} \\ =\frac{\pi(12.6)^2}{4}cm^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]The flow speed for the first section is v1 = 339 cm s^-1
The flow speed for the second section will be v2.
(a) The flow speed for the second section can be calculated as
[tex]\begin{gathered} A_1v1=A_2_{}v2 \\ v2=\frac{A_1v1}{A_2} \\ =\frac{\pi(9.1)^2\times339\times4}{4\times\pi\times(12.6)^2} \\ =\text{ 176.82 cm/s} \\ =1.7682\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}[/tex](b) The pressure for first section is p1 = 2.93 x 10^5 Pa
The pressure for the second section will be p2.
The pressure for the second section can be calculated by the formula,
[tex]\begin{gathered} p2=p1+\frac{1}{2}\rho\mleft\lbrace(v1)^2-(v2\mright)^2\} \\ =2.93\times10^5+\frac{1}{2}\times3.43\mleft\lbrace(339)^2-(176.82)^2\mright\rbrace \\ =4.36\text{ }\times10^5\text{ Pa} \end{gathered}[/tex]
