In the figure, friction loss between A and B is neglected while between B and C it is 0.2 (VB²/2g). Find the gauge pressure at C (in kPa) if the water is flowing from A to C at a rate of 304 L/s. Pipes A and C are 443 mm in diameter and Pipe B is 131 mm in diameter. The gauge pressure at B B is 7.9 kPa.
