A water sprinkler system discharges water from a horizontal pipe at the rate of 0.0077m /s. At one point in the pipe, where the radius is 0.046m, the water's absolute pressure is 2.4 x 10°P.. At a second point in the pipe, the water passes through a constriction where the radius is 0.027m. What is the water's absolute pressure (in Pa) as it flows through this constriction?

A water sprinkler system discharges water from a horizontal pipe at the rate of
0.0077m /s. At one point in the pipe, where the radius is 0.046m, the water's
absolute pressure is 2.4 x 10°Pa. At a second point in the pipe, the water passes
through a constriction where the radius is 0.027m. What is the woater's absolute
pressure (in Pa) as it flows through this constriction?
