In a horizontal pipe water flows at a rate of 9.1 L/s. Here, the pipe has two sections, one with a diameter of 10.16 cm and the other with a diameter of 5.08 cm, with a gradual smooth reducing section. In this case, a mercury manometer is used to measure the pressure difference. If friction is negligible how would I find the differential height of mercury between the two sections? If the manometer on the 5.08cm pipe section was replaced with a pitot tube how would the reading change? any help would be deeply appreciated
