Water at a gauge pressure of \( 3.8 \) \( \text{atm} \) at street level flows into an office building at a speed of \( 0.78 \) \( \text{m/s} \) through a pipe \( 5.0 \) \( \text{cm} \) in diameter. The pipe tapers down to \( 2.8 \) \( \text{cm} \) in diameter by the top floor, \( 16 \) \(\text{m} \) above, where the faucet has been left open. Calculate the flow velocity AND the gauge pressure in the pipe on the top floor. Assume no branch pipes and ignore viscosity.
