Problem
A pump drives oil of density 850kg/m3 upward through a pipe that is 0.060 m in diameter at the lower point and 0.040 m in diameter at an upper point. The volumetric flow rate is 9.0×10−3m3/s. The gauge pressure at the lower point is 300 kPa, while at the upper point it is 240 kPa. Determine the vertical separation between these two points in the pipe. Give your answer in metres to two significant figures.
