Question
**Problem 4. (30')**

Water flows steadily through the reducing elbow shown below. The elbow is smooth and short. The effect of friction is small. The volume flow rate \( Q \) is \( 2.5 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m}^3/\text{s} \). The elbow is on a horizontal plane (\( z_1 = z_2 \)). Gravity direction is along the z-axis which is normal to the paper. Below is the diagram of the elbow looking from above. Outlet is at atmospheric pressure 101325 Pa. Density of water is 1000 kg/m\(^3\). Find Pressure at inlet, \( P_1 \).

**Diagram Explanation:**

- **Supply Pipe:** The water enters through a pipe with diameter \( D = 45 \, \text{mm} \).
- **Reducing Elbow:** The elbow transitions from the supply pipe to an outlet pipe.
- **Outlet:** The diameter of the outlet is \( d = 25 \, \text{mm} \). The outlet has atmospheric pressure.
- **Coordinate System:** The diagram is viewed on the xy-plane, with gravity acting along the z-axis (normal to the plane).
- **Flow Direction:** Indicated by arrows, moving from the larger diameter to the smaller diameter.

The objective is to find the pressure at the inlet \( P_1 \) using the given parameters.
