Answer:

A total eclipse occurs when the dark silhouette of the Moon completely obscures the intensely bright light of the Sun, allowing the much fainter solar aureole to be visible. During any one eclipse, totality occurs at best only in a narrow track on the surface of Earth. This narrow track is called the path of totality.

A partial lunar eclipse happens when part of the Moon enters Earth's shadow. In a partial eclipse, Earth's shadow appears very dark on the side of the Moon facing Earth.

A) Speed in the lower section: 0.638 m/s

B) Speed in the higher section: 2.55 m/s

C) Volume flow rate: $1.8\cdot 10^{-3} m^3/s$

Explanation:

To solve the problem, we can use Bernoulli's equation, which states that

$p_1 + \rho g h_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 = p_2 + \rho g h_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2$

where

$p_1=1.75\cdot 10^4 Pa$ is the pressure in the lower section of the tube

$h_1 = 0$ is the heigth of the lower section

$\rho=1000 kg/m^3$ is the density of water

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

$v_1$ is the speed of the water in the lower pipe

$p_2$ is the pressure in the higher section

$h_2 = 0.250 m$ is the height in the higher pipe

$v_2$ is hte speed in the higher section

We can re-write the equation as

$v_1^2-v_2^2=\frac{2(p_2-p_1)+\rho g h_2}{\rho}$ (1)

Also we can use the continuity equation, which state that the volume flow rate is constant:

$A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2$

where

$A_1 = \pi r_1^2$ is the cross-section of the lower pipe, with

$r_1 = 3.00 cm =0.03 m$ is the radius of the lower pipe (half the diameter)

$A_2 = \pi r_2^2$ is the cross-section of the higher pipe, with

$r_2 = 1.50 cm = 0.015 m$ (radius of the higher pipe)

So we get

$r_1^2 v_1 = r_2^2 v_2$

And so

$v_2 = \frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2}v_1$ (2)

Substituting into (1), we find the speed in the lower section:

$v_1^2-(\frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2})^2v_1^2=\frac{2(p_2-p_1)+\rho g h_2}{\rho}\\v_1=\sqrt{\frac{2(p_2-p_1+\rho g h_2)}{\rho(1-\frac{r_1^4}{r_2^4})}}=0.638 m/s$
