An ideal fluid, of density 0.90 x 103 kg/m3, flows at 6.0m/s through a level pipe with radius of 0.50cm. The pressure in the fluid is 1.3 x 105N/m2. This pipe connects to a second level pipe, with a radius of 1.5cm. Find the speed of flow in the second pipe
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.

I am given the answer to be 0.67m/s. However, I need help understanding how it is actually solved. Thanks!!
