A horizontal pipe contains water at a pressure of 130 kPa flowing with a speed of 2.0 m/s . The pipe narrows to one-half its original diameter.
Fluid Pressure
The term fluid pressure is coined as, the measurement of the force per unit area of a given surface of a closed container. It is a branch of physics that helps to study the properties of fluid under various conditions of force.
Gauge Pressure
Pressure is the physical force acting per unit area on a body; the applied force is perpendicular to the surface of the object per unit area. The air around us at sea level exerts a pressure (atmospheric pressure) of about 14.7 psi but this doesn’t seem to bother anyone as the bodily fluids are constantly pushing outwards with the same force but if one swims down into the ocean a few feet below the surface one can notice the difference, there is increased pressure on the eardrum, this is due to an increase in hydrostatic pressure.

![A river narrows at a rapids from a width of 10 m to a width of only 6.0
m. The depth of the river before the rapids is 2.8 m ; the depth in the
rapids is 0.70 m
Part A
Find the speed of water flowing in the rapids, given that its speed before the rapids is 1.4 m/s . Assume the river has a rectangular cross section.
