Question
(a) At one point in a pipeline the water's speed
is 3.00 m/s and the gauge pressure is
5.00 · 104 Pa. Find the gauge pressure at a
second point in the line, 11.0 m lower than the
first, if the pipe diameter at the second point is
twice that at the first.
Note: density of water is 1000 kg/m3.
(b) If the gauge pressure at the second point is
half of what you found in part (a), calculate
how much energy was lost to friction.
