Question
**Understanding Venturi Meters**

A Venturi meter is a device designed to measure the speed of a fluid within a pipe. The accompanying diagram illustrates a gas flowing at speed \( v_2 \) through a horizontal section of pipe with a cross-sectional area of \( A_2 = 0.0619 \, \text{m}^2 \). The gas has a density of \( \rho = 1.30 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \). The Venturi meter itself has an alternate cross-sectional area of \( A_1 = 0.0393 \, \text{m}^2 \), substituting a section of the larger pipe. 

The pressure difference between the two sections of the pipe is given as \( P_2 - P_1 = 90.8 \, \text{Pa} \). 

**Task:**
- Find (a) the speed \( v_2 \) of the gas in the larger original pipe.
- Find (b) the volume flow rate \( Q \) of the gas.

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram shows a pipe setup with a Venturi meter. The fluid enters the wider section of the pipe at \( A_2 \) and moves towards the narrower section at \( A_1 \), indicating the Venturi meter's location. Pressure gauges \( \text{Hi} \) and \( \text{Lo} \) measure the pressures \( P_2 \) and \( P_1 \) respectively, showcasing the pressure difference due to the change in speed and cross-sectional area. 

**Questions:**

(a) Enter the calculated speed \( v_2 \) along with the respective units.

(b) Enter the calculated volume flow rate \( Q \) along with the respective units. 

The form provides fields for entering these values and selecting appropriate units.
