Water (density = 997.1 kg/m³ = 62.25 lb/ft³) is flowing through a circular pipe. Given that the water flows through a pipe with a mass flowrate of 0.58 kg/sec and the velocity in the pipe is known to be 1.28 ft/sec, what is the diameter of the pipe in millimeters? Report your answer to one decimal place.

A Venturi tube has a pipe diameter of $25.4 \mathrm{~cm}$ and a throat diameter of $11.3 \mathrm{~cm}$. The water pressure in the pipe is $57.1 \mathrm{kPa}$ and in the throat is $32.6 \mathrm{kPa}$. Calculate the volume flux of water through the tube.

The pressure in a section of horizontal pipe with a diameter of 2 cm is 143 kPa. Water flows through the pipe at 2.80 L/ s. If the pressure at a certain point is to be reduced to 109 kPa by constricting a section of the pipe, what should the diameter of the constricted section be? Assume laminar nonviscous flow. Express your answer in meters to four decimal places.
