Can you show me how to solve this?

Water, which we can treat as ideal and incompressible, flows at 12 m/s in a horizontal pipe with a pressure of 3.0 x 104 Pa. If the pipe widens to twice its original radius,
what is the pressure in the wider section?
Hint: First use the Continuity Equation to solve for the velocity in the wider section. Finish the problem with Bernoulli's Equation. Since the pipe is horizontal, there is no
change of height across the transition region.
O 4.9 x 104 Pa
O 9,8 x 104 Pa
O 7,4 x 104 Pa
O 3.0 x 104 Pa
