Pressure Calculation in Pipe Flow

1) Water is flowing through pipes of diameters 20 cm and 10 cm at sections 1 and 2, located 6m and 4m above datum. 2) The flow rate is 35 liters/second. 3) Given the pressure at section 1 is 39.24 N/cm2, use Bernoulli's equation to calculate the pressure at section 2, which is 40.27 N/cm2.

The water is flowing through a pipe having diameters 20 cm and 10 cm at sections 1 and 2
respectively. The rate of flow through pipe is 35 litres/s. The section 1 is 6m above datum and
section 2 is 4 m above datum. If the pressure at section 1 is 39.24 N/cm 2, find the intensity of
pressure at section 2.
