A horizontal Venturi meter, which has a throat diameter of cm, is installed in a pipeline with a diameter of 30 cm. The pipe is running full of water (density 1000 kg/m) and the coefficient of discharge of the Venturi meter is 0.975. One pressure tapping is located at the throat and another in the pipeline upstream of the throat. The pressure difference measured between the two tappings is 74.5 mm of mercury. What is the actual flow rate (in 1/s)? (provide your answer with two decimal points)
