a. The diameter of a 3 meter pipe decreases from 450 mm to 150 mm. If the velocity is to decrease uniformly in a linear manner, draw the diameter profile at each 500 mm length interval along the pipe. Discharge is 150 liters per second.

b. The same venturi meter described in letter a is used to measure the discharge for a length of pipeline that was suspected to have had water stolen through an illegal connection. Before said suspected illegal connection, a mercury difference of 350 mm was observed while a mercury difference of 200 mm was observed afterwards. Estimate the stolen volume of water per day.
