A straight pipe AB, of length 10 m, tapers from a diameter of 40 cm at A to 20 cm at B. The centre line of the pipe is so located that the end B is 2 m above the level of A. Liquid of specific gravity 0.9 flows through the pipe at 150 litres/second. Pressure gauges connected at A and B show the readings of 60 kPa and 40 kPa, respectively, Determine the direction of flow.
