An oil refinery uses a Venturi tube to measure the flow rate of gasoline. The density of the gasoline is p = 7,40 x 10 kg/m, the inlet and outlet tubes, respectively, have a
radius of 2.30 cm and 1.15 cm, and the difference in input and output pressure is P, - P, - 1.20 kPa.
(a) Find the speed (in m/s) of the gasoline as it leaves the hose.
m/s
(b) Find the fluid flow rate in cubic meters per second.
