A7.5-cmcm-diameter horizontal pipe gradually narrows to 4.5 cmcm . when water flows through this pipe at a certain rate, the gauge pressure in these two sections is 32.0 kpakpa and 25.0 kpakpa , respectively.

Answer

given,

diameter,d₁ = 7.5 cm

               d₂ = 4.5 cm

P₁ = 32 kPa

P₂ = 25 kPa

Assuming, we have calculation of flow in the pipe

using continuity equation

 A₁ v₁ = A₂ v₂

 π r₁² v₁ = π r₂² v₂

Applying Bernoulli's equation

       v₂ = 4.01 m/s

fluid flow rate

Q = A₂ V₂

Q = π (0.0225)²  x 4.01

Q = 6.38 x 10⁻³ m³/s

flow in the pipe is equal to 6.38 x 10⁻³ m³/s

option number c is the right answer.
