Question:

Water flows in a pipeline. At a point in the line where the diameter is 7 in., the velocity is \(12 \mathrm{fps}\) and the pressure is \(50 \mathrm{psi}\). At a point \(40 \mathrm{ft}\) away the diameter reduces to 3 in. Calculate the pressure here when the pipe is

(a) horizontal,

(b) vertical with flow downward, and

(c) vertical with the flow upward. Explain why there is a difference in the pressure for the different situations.
