Gasoline with a density of 737 kg/m3 moves through a constricted pipe in steady, ideal flow. At the lower point shown in the figure below, the pressure is P1 = 1.85×104 Pa, and the pipe diameter is 8.00 cm. At another point y = 0.35 m higher, the pressure is P2 = 1.15×104 Pa and the pipe diameter is 4.00 cm. (a) Find the speed of flow (in m/s ) in the lower section. m/s (b) Find the speed of flow (in m/s) in the upper section. m/s (c) Find the volume flow rate (in m3/s) through the pipe. m3/s
