The pump shown in the figure maintains an absolute pressure, P, as water flows through the pipes. The water exits (to the atmosphere) the pipe at point C at a speed of 23.7 m/s. Assume that the water flows as an ideal fluid and that it completely fills the pipes at all times. At A the pipe has a cross-section diameter of 7.00 cm as shown. At all points between B and C, the pipe has a cross-section diameter of 4.50 cm. The diagram is not to scale. a) Determine the absolute pressure P, in kPa, that is maintained by the pump (9 pts) b) Determine the volumetric flow rate (Q) of the water at point A. (3 pts)
