- 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 appreciatedarrow_forward(b) Use Bernoulli's energy balance equation (E = PV + 0.5*mU²), assume volume flow rate remains constant along the pipe such that (Q=UA), and assume that pressure is balanced manometer to perform the following derivations: (i) (ii) (iii) 1- P2 in the pipe (substitute U2 in this step). an expression for P₁ an expression for P₁ P2 in the U-tube manometer.
