- Picture the problem.

- Let the subscript 60 denote the 60-cm-radius pipe and the subscript 30 denote the 30-cm-
radius pipe. We can use Bernoulli's equation for constant elevation to express P30 in terms of
V60 and V30, the definition of volume flow rate to find V60 and the continuity equation to find
V30.

- Using Bernoulli's equation for constant elevation, relate the pressures in the two pipes to the
velocities of the oil:

- Solve for P30:

- Use the definition of volume flow rate to find V60:

- Using the continuity equation, relate the velocity of the oil the half-standard pipe to its
velocity in the standard pipe:

- Solve for and evaluate V30:

- Substitute numerical values in equation (1) and evalue P30:
