Physics

An incompressible fluid is flowing through a vertical pipe witha constriction. The wide section is 2.00 cm in diameter and is atthe top of the pipe. The pressure of the fluid in the wide sectionat the top is 200 kPa. The velocity of the fluid in the widesection is 4.00 m/s. The narrow section is located 4.00 m below thewide section. What is the diameter of the narrow section for thepressure of the fluid in the narrow section to equal the pressurein the wide section? (density of the fluid is 1,000kg/m3)
