Question

Water at a gauge pressure of 3.8 atm at street level flows into an office building at a speed of 0.68 m/s through a pipe 5.4 cm in diameter. The pipe tapers down to 2.5 cm in diameter by the top floor, 18 m above, where the faucet has been left open. (Figure 1)Calculate the flow velocity in the pipe on the top floor. Assume no branch pipes and ignore viscosity.
v=________

Part b: Calculate the gauge pressure in the pipe on the top floor. Assume no branch pipes and ignore viscosity. Express your answer using two significant figures.
p=________
