6.26 Water flows at low speed through a circular tube with inside diameter of 2 in. A smoothly contoured body of 1.5 in. diameter is held in the end of the tube where the water discharges to atmosphere.

Neglect frictional effects and assume uniform velocity profiles at each section. Determine the pressure measured by the gauge and the force required to hold the body.
