A fluid of density 800 kg/m³ flows through a horizontal venturi pipe with a diameter decreasing from 0.1m to 0.05m. The difference in pressure between the wide and narrow sections is 3000 Pa. Calculate the flow velocity in the narrow section.
💡 Hint: Ensure the area ratios and pressure differences are correctly applied.
Describe a practical scenario where the principles of mass conservation apply, including real-world data and relevant calculations.
💡 Hint: Review the principles of fluid dynamics relative to urban infrastructure.
