A pipe 300m long has a slope of 1:100 and converts from a 1-m diameter at its upper end, where the pressure is 6.87x104kg/m-sec² (68.7kN/m2). To 0.5m at its lower end. If the water flows at a rate of 5400lit/min, determine the pressure at the lower end. Assume the energy loss due to friction is negligible.
