3. Water is flowing through a steel pipe from a water tank to a garden, the pipes it flowing in frequently change size. Water is flowing at 4m/s in a tube with a diameter of 200mm. The tube gradually increases in size to a diameter of 1.2m, and then gradually decreases to a diameter of 900mm. Neglecting any energy losses due to friction and pressure changes, what is the speed of the water when it reaches out the tube diameter of 900mm?
Determine the pressure at the bottom of a drum 0.50m deep and filled with water.
