A side-view diagram of an ideal fluid flowing through a horizontal narrowing pipe.
An incompressible, nonviscous fluid of density \(\rho\) flows through a horizontal pipe. At a wide section of the pipe, denoted as Point 1, the cross-sectional area is \(A_1\), the fluid speed is \(v_1\), and the pressure is \(P_1\). Further downstream, the pipe narrows to a constriction at Point 2 with a cross-sectional area \(A_2\). Which of the following is a correct expression for the fluid pressure \(P_2\) at the constriction?
