Water is flowing through a pipe of two cross sectional areas A1 and A2 lying horizontally. The pressure difference between the cross sectional areas is 0 Pa. if the velocity of water through cross sectional Area 2 is 3.25m/s2, what would be the velocity of the water through cross sectional Area 1? (hint: use Bernoulli’s equation. Remember that the pipe is horizontal meaning that height = 0m).Note: This question has been answered. Only the one below. Using the information in question one: a) Calculate the Volume flow rate in cross sectional area 2 of the pipe if the radius of the cross section in area 2 is 2.35 m b) Calculate the Flow Rate in Area 1 if the Radius of the cross section in Area 1 is 1.25m.

You may find it helpful to review Chapter 9, Section 9.3 "Fluid flow measurements" and Chapter 11, Section 11.1 "The Earth's atmosphere and winds" before attempting this question. An aircraft is flying at an altitude of 31000 feet at a speed of 450 knots. What pressure difference will be produced with a pitot-static probe at this height and speed? Give your answer in kPa to 2 s.f. (Even if this question might be answered using either equations or graphs, use equations only to provide a more accurate result.) Suggested approach: Remember that the local air density at 31000 feet is less than the value at ground level, and find this value first. Use the standard atmospheric model and assume that 1 foot = 0.305m and 1 knot = 0.514 m s¹. Pressure difference: kPa
