Water flows through a pipe as shown in the figure. The pressure at points 1 and 2 respectively is 1.90 x 105 Pa and 1.20 x 105 Pa. The radius of the pipe at points 1 and 2 respectively is 3.90 cm and 1.10 cm. If the vertical distance between points 1 and 2 is 2.75 m, determine the following. (a) speed of flow at point 11 m/s (b) speed of flow at point 2 m/s (c) volume flow rate of the fluid through the pipe m³/s Additional Materials
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 don't understand which answers are for what??? I need the speed flow at point 1 and the speed flow at point 2 and the volume of the flow rate. U circled like 6 answers.
