Water flows through a vertical contraction (venturi) section. Piezometers are attached to the upstream pipe and minimum area section as shown. The velocity in the pipe is V = 1 m/s. The difference in elevation between the two water levels in the piezometers is d = 10 cm. What is the velocity (m/s) at the minimum area?
