Horizontal pipe with varying cross-sectional area.
Horizontal pipe with varying cross-sectional area.
An ideal, incompressible fluid flows at a constant volume flow rate through a horizontal pipe that tapers from a cross-sectional area of \(2A\) to a cross-sectional area of \(A\). Point 1 is located in the wider section of the pipe and Point 2 is located in the narrower section. Which of the following correctly compares the fluid pressure \(P\) and fluid speed \(v\) at Point 1 and Point 2?
