Water is flowing in the pipe shown in the figure below, with the 8.20-cm diameter at point 1 tapering to 3.85 cm at point 2, located y = 11.5 cm below point 1. The water pressure at point 1 is 3.20 ✕ 104 Pa and decreases by 50% at point 2. Assume steady, ideal flow. What is the speed of the water at the following points?   (a) point 1 m/s   (b) point 2 m/s.
