Question 3 (25/100). Water flows at a constant rate of 1.2 m³/s from a wide channel with a cross-sectional area of 6 m² to a narrower channel with a cross-sectional area of 2 m². The flow is steady, the liquids are at equal heights (z?=z?), and friction losses are neglected. What is the pressure difference between the two points in Pa? (?water = 1000 kg/m³).

Water enters a horizontal pipe with a rectangular cross section at a speed of $1.00 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$. The width of the pipe remains constant but the height decreases. Twenty meters from the entrance, the height is half of what it is at the entrance. If the water pressure at the entrance is $3000 . \mathrm{Pa},$ what is the pressure $20.0 \mathrm{~m}$ downstream?
Water (ρ = 1000 kg/m3) flows from left to right in a pipe. On the left side: - P1 = 100 Pa - v1 = 1 m/s - A1 = 3 m2 - h1 = 3 m On the right side: - A2 = 1 m2 - h2 = 2 m What is the pressure P2 and velocity v2 on the right side of the pipe? Use g = 10 m/s2 for ease.
