Water pressurized to 6.5 × 10° Pa is
flowing at 5.0 m/s in a pipe which
contracts to 1/3 its former area.
What is the pressure and velocity of
the water after the contraction?
Select one:
O A. 2.5 x 10° Pa, 15.0 m/s
O B. 4.5 × 10 Pa, 1.5 m/s
O C. 3.0 × 10° Pa, 10 m/s
O D. 3.0 × 10° Pa, 15.0 m/s
O E. 5.5 × 10° Pa, 15.0 m/s
