Problem

In a horizontal pipe system, water flows successively through three circular sections: section A (diameter 6.0 cm6.0\,\text{cm}), a throat section B (diameter 3.0 cm3.0\,\text{cm}), and an exit section C (diameter 8.0 cm8.0\,\text{cm}). The steady volume flow rate is 0.020 m3 s−10.020\,\text{m}^{3}\,\text{s}^{-1}. Determine: (i) the speeds of water in sections A, B, and C (ii) the ratio of throat speed to entry speed (iii) the ratio of exit speed to throat speed
