'36) Water at a pressure of 3.5 x 105 Pa is flowing at 5.0 m/sec in a horizontal pipe which then reduces its cross sectional area to 1/3 its initial size. What are the pressure and velocity of the water now?'
Added by Helen H.
Step 1
The continuity equation states that the mass flow rate of a fluid is constant along a pipe. This means that the product of the cross-sectional area and the velocity of the water must remain constant before and after the pipe constriction. Therefore, we can Show moreā¦

Water pressurized to 3.5 x 10^5 Pa is flowing at 3.0 m/s in a horizontal pipe which contracts to 1/4 its former area. What are the pressure and velocity of the water after the contraction? a. 2.3 x 10^5 Pa, 16 m/s b. 4.2 x 10^5 Pa, 12 m/s c. 5.6 x 10^5 Pa, 16 m/s d. 3.0 x 10^5 Pa, 15 m/s e. 2.8 x 10^5 Pa, 12 m/s
