An incompressible fluid is flowing through a pipe with a constriction.The pipe is on an incline with an angle of 20.0 degrees.The narrow section is 15.0 m from the wide section and the narrow section is lower than the wide section.The velocity of the fluid in the wide section of the pipe is 6.00 m/s and the velocity of the fluid in the narrow section of pipe is 9.00 m/s.The pressure of the fluid in the wide section is 250 kPa.What is the pressure in the narrow section of the pipe? (density of the fluid is 1,000 kg/m³) A) 228 kPa B) 203 kPa C) 195 kPa D) 167 kPa E) 145 kPa

Explanation:Using Bernoulli's equation:P1 + 1/2 * ρ * v1^2 + ρ * g * h1 = P2 + 1/2 * ρ * v2^2 + ρ * g * h2where P is pressure, ρ is density, v is velocity, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.Since the fluid is incompressible, ρ is constant.Also, h1 = h2, since the pipe is on an incline.Therefore, P1 + 1/2 * ρ * v1^2 = P2 + 1/2 * ρ * v2^2Substituting the given values, we get:250 kPa + 1/2 * 1000 kg/m^3 * (6.00 m/s)^2 = P2 + 1/2 * 1000 kg/m^3 * (9.00 m/s)^2Solving for P2, we get:P2 = 228 kPa
