Answer #1

Solution -

Applying the continuity equations -

A1V1   = A2V2 ( A = Area , V = Velocity )

π x D12 x V1 =  π x D22 x V2

V2 = V1  ( D12  / D22 )

= 1.47 x [1 / ( 0.859)2 ] ( Note - D2 / D1 = 0.859)

= 1.992 m/s   

Apply the energy conservation

(1/2) x m x V22   - (1/2) x m x V12   = mgh

h = ( V22 - V12 ) / 2g

= (1.9922 - 1.472 ) / (2 x 9.81 )

= 0.0921 m = 9.21 cms

Please rate good if I have solved your problem and you understood the solution well .

Thank you .
