A pipe carries water horizontally at a pressure of 1.4 atm, with the water flowing at a speed of 2.0 m/s. The water is then to be diverted downwards and continue through a horizontal pipe located 4.0 m below the first segment of pipe (labelled as h in the diagram below). If the width of the pipe remains constant, what is the pressure of the water in the lower pipe (in atm)?
Note that the density of water is 1000 kg/m3, and that 1 atm = 101.3 kPa.
Hint: What does the continuity equation tell you about the speed of the water in the lower portion?
