A water inlet pipe which runs horizontally underground has a diameter of 8.00 cm. It is then connected to a smaller pipe with a diameter of 5.00 cm. (a) If the flow speed of water in the inlet pipe is 2.0 m/s then what is the flow speed in the smaller pipe? (b) Using the result in (a), if the pressure in the smaller pipe is 4.00 x 104 Pa, what is the pressure in the inlet pipe?

A child playing in a swimming pool realizes that it is easy to push a small inflated ball under the surface of the water whereas a large ball requires a lot of force. The child happens to have a styrofoam ball (the shape of the ball will not distort when it is forced under the surface), which he forces under the surface of the water. If the child needs to supply 5.00 × 10² N to totally submerge the ball, calculate the diameter d of the ball. The density of water is pw = 1.000 × 10³ kg/m³, the density of 95.0 kg/m', and the acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.81 m/s². styrofoam is Pfoam =
